> social media ... organized political power structure

It's not just social media and it is somewhat disingenuous to dismiss the idea that finance, specially specially international finance, does not have (some form of) power [that actually trumps and transcends political power].

This is a somewhat interesting film that I was watching the other day. It's mere existence addresses the first bit -- that perception is certainly not limited to "social media". And of course the film itself is about a super secret gathering of G8 ministers where they struggle with the decision to put in place some (undisclosed) policy change that they all know will have very drastic consequences for the global average joe.
