The word "plutocrat" also means something. It does not mean "rich person." If this was an actual plutocracy, there would be no antitrust laws. Regulations would be almost nonexistent. People like Bill Gates would not be sweating bullets in a Star Chamber hoping his company wasn't going to be dismantled around him.
BP would not have paid billions in reparations, and Walmart would have told that little city council that they could build any damn place they liked in DC and pay their employees whatever they wanted. Here where I live, I watch as Google has to go hat in hand to the city council to get permission to build a pedestrian bridge and a new complex, and gets shot down.
If this were a real plutocracy, the Gilded Age would have spit in TR's eye, and never ended. Democrats in high office would be nearly unknown, and progressive taxes would be a theoretical concept.
"Evidence?" If this country is an actual plutocracy, it's the most poorly-managed one I've ever seen.
The Left needs this "plutocracy" fantasy because they have to justify what they have in mind for this country. Again, in real life, there are no corporate dictatorships. There are no corporate gulags, corporate secret police, or corporations breaking down doors in the night. There are no corporate tanks rolling over protestors, and no corporations building death zones to keep their employees in.
A hundred million people have died on the altar of the ideology that website worships, and that the Left in America has worshiped for three generations. That's real history, too.
The most important thing you overlook comparing "maps" is that the "History is a Weapon" website presented that map of leftist destruction with pride.
That's the point you were looking for.

I said that real history means something.
