If democracy values the ideals of freedom, participation and equality, how come it doesn't have a economic system? It does not come with a built-in economic system. Uh it offers you uh political democracy but not uh economic democracy. And conveniently uh capitalism usually jumps in and the relationship between um uh the relationship between uh democracy and capitalism are not usually partnership. It's usually a parasitic relationship. One feeds of the other. Capitalism alone is ugly. It doesn't look good. It needs democracy to uh you know have that look presentable to be more uh something as a functioning uh tool that benefits the society while in fact it is not. The capitalist logic is built on uh the value of efficiency, profit and inequality. So capitalism usually corrupts democracy. It uh corrupts with funds, with inequality, with control and reners renders uh democracy into a theater. Like you can vote for your government, but who makes the choice for candidates? Who bicks them?
