"... this is very dangerous, it creates oligarchy, which, in turn, has all the incentives to restrict free market, free speech and democracy."

One could argue that the US is already an Oligarchy or more accurately an 'Oligarchic Plutocracy' which has accomplished all of the above.

Who is disagreeing? It’s far more difficult to argue the i verse.

Anybody who refers to USA as "democracy"? There is a lot of politicians and even ordinary people who say that.

Even I would refer to USA as democratic, but there is lot of evidence that the democratic component is pretty weak.
