As a matter of fact, it is very easy to see how a capitalist economy would lead to an oligarchy; you know, base and superstructure and all that. I understand what you are trying to say, and I totally agree with your intent: to point out that what happened in Russia was indeed capitalism. But just because the powers that be prefer to point out the effect (oligarchy) and hide the cause (capitalism), it doesn't mean that there isn't, in reality, a link between the two, a causal link.
