It's pretty meaningless to say it isn't a form of government when it supersedes governments and controls them.
Sure, parasitic wasp larvae aren't spiders but when they occupy and puppet a spider's movements the distinction is largely irrelevant.
Is your take that rich people have power? Because that happens in every form of economic system and government, it’s just by what degree.
I don't mind the rich having power, I mind them being able to use that power to abuse others without consequences.
