The two words, "Democracy" and "Capitalism" are theoretical terms.

The two terms, being theoretical, must be implemented in a practical manner. The implementation of Democracy into a practical arrangement is the establishment of a government, of People, by People, and for People, wherein the term, 'for People', refers back to the 'same people' referred too in the originating term, 'of people'. Hence, it is a cycle of 'self-government'. The term Capitalism refers to an economy where the 'motor' for economic activity is 'profits'. Hence, it can be said that Government is 'constructive', and Capitalism is 'productive'. The productive aspects of Capitalism can be anything that makes a profit, e.g. hula-hoops. While the 'constructive' nature of democracy must refer to the people it governs, and the 'ideal' of 'construction' would be 'inclusive', i.e. it would include each and every individual situated at the Bottom of government. Hence, government has nowhere to go, except towards 'perfection'. While the ideal of Capitalism is only to make a profit, and unfortunately, the making of profits, not being sufficient, it (money) is hoarded and 'hoarding money' is 'applying the brakes' to a medium that must circulate. Hoarding money can only be 'motored' by greed, otherwise it would not be 'limited' to the top 1%. There lies its problematic. Consequently, it would be better to refer to economic activity as 'Capitalocracy'or Capitalocratic i.e. an activity that benefits the People and the social institutions at the Bottom of government and consequently, 'contains' the profits within the 'institutional' and 'social structures' of a Nation. In this way economic activity becomes a 'function of a democracy' where institutional activities benefit the economic and social structures of a Nation. This arrangement would not be antithetical, and furthermore, the term 'Capitalism" could shed the suffix "ism" which did a lot of damage to the originating term of 'commune'(a Biblical term)to the later use of the term 'Communism'. ( please don't get me wrong, I don't support communism, its just an example to show how some "isms" acquired a bad name.) Hence, Capitalocracy could benefit a Democratic Social and might 'put the brakes' on 'hoarding, a medium of exchange', that must circulate to the benefit of the social structure, that gave it its arising. Again, don't get me wrong, there would still be plenty of profits for the Capitalists, but the 'hoarding' would be less justifiable by words as "I did it on my own", "its my money", "I am a hard worker and you are lazy". The truth is that none of the above statements justify 'success in the economy'. The only justification is that those individuals live in a democracy where Capitalism, or better yet, Capital-ocratic activity can be pursued. Try it in an Autocratic government.
