An excellent summary, indeed.
It's nothing to do with "ideology;" forms of government don't signify; it's a class matter. I never thought I'd sound so much like a Marxist, but ... there it is, plain to see. Oligarchs of various flavors, of different nominal nationalities: they have their own critical interests in common amongst themselves, and essentially nothing in common with such as you or me. And we're programmed to love some of them and hate others, just as though there were important differences among them. It's like watching an NBA game played between two groups of multi-millionaires. Because they have different uniform colors, we're supposed to love one and hate the other. Tragically, we cooperate.
