RE: This is not a democratic society, this is a capitalist society.

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

The economy is not composed of two distinct classes the way you perceive them. Everyone is a consumer, and there are many opportunities to produce what others want to consume. The political class operating by literal plunder is the threat, not some abstract "capitalist" class. When corporations rely on politics to prosper, we have abandoned the concept of the free market. Again, the two concepts are diametrically opposed, not causally related.
