Some authors such as Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca, Thomas R. Dye, and Robert Michels, believe that any political system eventually evolves into an oligarchy. This theory is called the "iron law of oligarchy". According to this school of thought, modern democracies should be considered as elected oligarchies. In these systems, actual differences between viable political rivals are small, the oligarchic elite impose strict limits on what constitutes an 'acceptable' and 'respectable' political position, and politicians' careers depend heavily on unelected economic and media elites.

The concept of an "oligarchic democracy" is one which some scholars attribute to Ancient Rome and the United States
so we're no different from you.

Who should get to decide if a candidate is propagandist or the "best" one? You and the rest of the common people, or a bunch of unelected people in a dark room?
