"Inverted totalitarianism" seems unnecessarily confusing of a term, although the article looks interesting. (There, too, the author says the democracy in the streets doesnot effect the actions of the govt, like in the article about russia).
In my comment, i said shifting alliances, not shifting allegiances. Im 42 y o, and in my life the ruling elite has changed, maybe dramatically, with the younger billionaires entering themix, and stayed the same in other ways. But it changes around even from election to election sometimes-if it didnt, there would be no outcry from clintons backers when trump won, etc. Its curious and confusing, and perhaps gives the impression of actual democracy to the uninformed.
