Good they do not use the term 'capitalist'. It has more pejorative meaning in those countries.

> I don't really get what I got out of this article... How the vocabulary is used to frame the article. Use the 'good' term for our guys, and the 'bad' term for theirs. The Chelsea soccer club quote is a beautiful example.

Nothing. Sure the rich business people are bad also in some way, yet it doesn't compare to the actual oligarchs. There is no way to start a competing business with an oligarch's among other things.
