And who gives the oligarchs power if not a populace that prefers cheap goods to expensive ones, no matter the real cost? All this talk about evil corporations selling out the west reminds me of the leftists "50 companies do all the pollution" bullshit. Who buys products from those companies? Who rewards lowering price at all costs?
