Any Economy; Capitalistic, Socialistic, or Otherwise, is not a Form of Government.

Any Economy; whether Capitalistic, Agrarian, Socialistic, or Otherwise, is not a form of Government. A Government can have many Forms. A Democratic Form of Government gets its Power to Govern from the People that are to be Governed; whereas, Capitalism is an 'economic form' that cannot exist without competition. Competition exists in every 'condition of togetherness'; but, competition only exists between 'Equals'. There is no such thing as competition between Individuals that are not Equal. Hence, the Democratic Form of Government is the perfect form that allows competition between 'Equals'. Other forms of Government; that do not 'stress' Equality; do not form a 'good medium' for 'Competition'. Socialistic forms of Government, is a kind of Governing that controls 'economic activity' and 'competition' from the Top; in many forms, of these type of Governments, the 'Governing Part' owns the means of Production. Hence, Democracy is a 'Medium' for the 'proper expression' of Competition. However, the Freedom and Equality enjoyed by the 'Real Individuals', 'translates' into the 'Legal Fictions' called Corporations and produces a 'lop-sided economy' of 'Real Individuals' and 'Fictional Persons'. These 'Fictional Persons' are not Real; and there can be no competition between the Real and the Fictional. As a consequence, we are 'saddled' with a Capitalistic Economy that creates 'in-equality', the 'Haves and the Have-nots'. That, in itself may not be too bad, but, when the 'Economic Institutions' purport to 'Govern' the 'condition of togetherness', it becomes problematic. Democratic Government becomes 'Economic Government', or, 'Capitalistic Government' that merely 'perpetuates itself'. The Real Individuals be Dammed; the 'Legal Fictions' ( Corporations), take over and 'Real Freedom and Equality' goes out the window. Government has been 'overcome' by the Economy. The 1% Governs and ascends to 'higher levels' of controlling a Medium of Exchange. A Medium of Exchange belongs at the Bottom, not the Top.
