So your saying that basically, our economic polices/globalization and stuff gives more power to whoever is in control, due to increased productivity or whatever from capitalism. And therefore the oppressive regimes who are currently ruling in some of these countries gain more power. Right?

Sort of. I'm saying that those "in control"
support oppressive regimes to increase their own power under the safety blanket of capitalism. Sort of the same thing, but a little different.
Either way, the lesson learned is that this ridiculous "I've earned it" philosophy of these nepotist multi-billionaires needs to be stopped. Financial freedom only works when the system in place rewards those who work hard. That, unfortunately, is not the case.
