Whilst that’s a relatively accurate comparison, I feel like that kinda term can easily become just a trigger word and allow people to devalue the arguments of those who say it. Whilst oligopoly is entirely true, given how much influence the richest in the world are allowed to have

So I should remain silent instead of calling them by their rightful name? What will that solve. Silence and cowardice will never fix this.

I still think oligarchy is the most accurate term to describe it right now. Or the beginnings of authoritarianism, it is arguably at the start of the facist pipeline. Anyway, fascist is a better term to use than nazi, because fascism is the general ideology and the nazis were a specific case of it

Call it whatever you want, what are you doing to fight them? While the ICE come for people, and dehumanize them what are WE DOING to fight it. Memes and syntax wont stop this.
