Nothing about my point is changed in the slightest by that distinction. If your country's politicians are another country's agents, your country is doing it wrong.

I get what you are saying, but but whether or not a country's politicians are loyal to that country isn't a fascist thing, even if fascists are quick to claim it as part of their fear generating schtick.

As far as I am personally concerned, the super wealthy are way more foreign to me than regular folks in the rest of the world. In that sense, our US politicians definitely serve foreign interests. Our politicians serve anyone with cash, and I don't think they care much which side of the border that money comes from.
