Dear Mr. Blackewll

Either use the word or the definition. Printing both is insulting.

If I wrote something this poorly, I wouldn’t post it at FR.

Let me clarify the definitions for us illiterate majority.

What are donors?

Oligarchy, a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people might be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, religious or military control.

Such states are often controlled by a few prominent families who typically pass their influence from one generation to the next, but inheritance is not a necessary condition for the application of this term.

Oligarchies have often been tyrannical, relying on public obedience or oppression to exist. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which another term commonly used today is plutocracy.
