it's strange that capitalism is equated is equated with democracy. Free market capitalism is by nature, not democratic. In a free capitalist system the market is decided by investment and return, cost and profit, etc. not a particulary freindly system, but for the market that's all well and good, for a while. Everyone knows that the more money you have, the more money you can make, so what happens when you just keep makeing money, and eventually, you and a few freinds end up with all the money. Now the undemocratic part, government represents the people right? well the people need jobs, and the people products, and houses, and all kidns of things, and the people with all the money own all these things. What does this mean? it means the government is dependent on these corporate few to keep the country from collapseing, now the government no longer represents the people, it represents the currency. ie, your vote is only as big as your bank account. That's not a country ruled by the people, but that's what we live in. As it is now, less than 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth.
Also, why does the word liberalism make everyone think of welfare, fuck welfare, the governments are corrupt.
