Answer 1

Never mind the detail: the "power elite" is what keeps you from being rich, wise, beautiful, healthy--or whatever it is you most wish for. It's the "other," like  parents who deny children any wish fulfillment.

It's a trivial idea blown up into a theology of oppression. It says that people differ, and some have responsibilities, powers, or authorities that others don't, regardless of reason or origin or duration.
