Democracy has been 'decapitated' by Capitalism.

Democracy has been 'decapitated' by Capitalism. A Democracy is not a Business Entity; its a Form of Government. Such a 'political Form', can only be 'motored' by the Freedom and Equality of 'each and every' Real Individual being governed. Corporations are not included as 'Real Individuals' because they are Legal Fictions and exist only in contemplation of Law. Of course, corporations may have needed, at some time, Legal protection by Law or by Government, but that does not make them 'Real Human Persons'. They may be 'Citizens' in a Democracy, but they must also comply with the rules and Laws of 'Citizenship' and 'democratic conduct'. The purpose of the Constitution is to 'constitute' a 'Democratic Nation' of 'Three branches' and to form a Government "of the People"; "by the People" and "for the People". A Democratic Nation must be Governed in a democratic manner. A Business Entity is not a Democratic Nation nor can it be motored democratically; i.e. by Freedom and Equality. To attempt to 'motor', or operate, a 'Business Entity' with 'Freedom and Equality' would be disastrous for the Business. In the same manner, to attempt to 'motor' or operate a Democratic Nation with 'Profits' and 'business acumen' is disastrous to the Nation. So, why do we have CEO's and businessmen living in the White House? They do not know how to Govern! They just know how to make money! Hopefully, we have learned something about 'real Democracy'; about the 'Fat' 1%; and about 'obsolete Governing Institutions' ( Electoral College) that clearly demonstrate that 'we cannot live by Profits alone'. We need to 'wake up' to a 'genuine experience' of 'Real Freedom' and 'Real Equality'. It probably cannot be done in 'one fell swoop'; but we can start by overruling CITIZENS UNITED: that Decision was just about 'the fox guarding the chicken coop'.
