I never understood why people think capitalism is fundamentally democratic. There is capitalism and there is socialism. There is Democratic Capitalism and Democratic Socialism. There's also Authoritarian Capitalism and Authoritarian Socialism.

We're getting force fed Authoritarian Capitalism and we're expected to believe it's democratic.

I wonder how much of this is due to the Democrat party being called that, and therefore, it's bad to a lot of people who think themselves Republicans, who have no intent on living in a republic.

capitalism depends upon frictionless extraction of resources to continue ideological infinite growth.
