the ultra-right advocates the republic of the late plato, texts like "the laws" which are essentially about a sham democracy behind which a "night commission" runs the show. in the name of security of course. that's why invisibility is so key. like american crossroads or the koch brothers. the financial oligarchy is a big enough tent to encompass both more and less open versions of the charade democracy/republic idea.
