Who rules the world?

Well? Who are they? Importantly, what are some common features in their behavior and how they gain and maintain power?

The only people who seem to be trying to find out are either communists of some kind

The people who "rule" the world are puppets for astral plane gods playing chess.

You should be thankful it is still not a single dictator, like Stalin. Otherwise you would have got a Gulag number already and a free prison uniform.

But will all know, that sooner or later, any oligopoly converts to a monopoly with dictator.

Thankful? One man is easier to hold accountable for misdeeds than a system crafted by hidden hands. At least we knew it was Stalin dictating the Russians and Hitler with the Germans. We're still asking who dictates us.
