A fun rule experiment

Here is a fun little thought experiment. What if the billionaire class was working with conservatives to bring about the collapse of democracy worldwide so that they could start their own little self governed authoritarian corpo-states with a CEOs as kings and regular people as menial labor slaves?

This does sound like a conspiracy theory, so take it with a grain of salt...but remember when the richest man in the world (who wants to colonize Mars) gave a certain salute at the Capitol Building with plenty of other billionaires looking on?
