If we're to be literal, power residing in the hands of those without the means of production or capital—especially power over superiors—would be analogous to Socialism.

I'm pretty sure the peasants wouldn't see it that way...

Aristocracy? Plutocracy? Oligarchy?

Aristocracy, that's the one.  I knew there was a word!

Yes, having the top .1% of the populace as opposed to the top .01% in control is very socialist.

That's 10 times as many people with power, Matt!  I'm calling the communism police.
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Eh, I'm not so sure. In Socialism and Communism the people must produce for the greater good of the whole.
