How is this a "grand conspiracy"? People are going to manipulate things in their favor as much as they have the power to do so. Oligarchs in America and elsewhere have the most power, and thus do the most manipulating. Also, it's no secret that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs. |

That's the easiest way to dismantle that particular grand conspiracy.
The most pragmatic approach is to understand that they don't rely on voting to get their way. But they absolutely compete for resource appropriation and their special interest. It is better if they act like gods of their particular domain or sector, so they can exert control over just that and not compete. But it also reinforces that they cannot and do not coordinate much together.
