Democracy can only be driven by Freedom and Equality; Capitalism can only be driven by Profits and Money.

Democracy can only be driven by Freedom and Equality; while capitalism can only be driven by Profits and Money. Democracy that is not motored by Freedom and Equality is not democracy because the essence of the Institution are the 'Many Individuals' that have formed it into a Political Institution. A Political Institution cannot exist without some 'creative Act' or, an Act by the so-called 'Many' that have instituted it; like a Constitution. That 'Act' closes the Gap between the relation of the so-called, the "One and the Many". That relation 'brings together' the Top and the Bottom of the Institution. The Institution is now dependent on its 'Creators' but only to the extent of the 'essence' of the relation. 'That' relation relates to the 'Power to Govern' the 'Many' in Freedom and Equality. There is no other function for the Political relation. The Capitalistic function 'generates money and Profits' for the continued existence of the Economic aspects of the 'Social' or, better said, the 'condition of togetherness'. Obviously, the 'competitive nature' of economic activity i.e., to create profits and money, requires a basic struggle against each Other. In other words, one 'Individual' makes more money than the 'Other'. To 'help' the economy, Legal Fictions or 'artificial persons' were created to generate more and more of the same, or 'Money', 'profits', 'Capital', to help the 'generation of Money' and the 'stabilization' of the Economy. In other words; Legal Fictions became necessary to 'help the economy'. Corporations are Fictions, Money is a fiction, 'profits' is an 'accumulation of a Fiction', So, what have we done, have we just transferred the 'Old Problematic' of the 'One and the Many' to the economic sector? We truly have, but it really does not make any difference,i.e., if we keep the Political principles separate from the Economic principles and if we don't mix the two; and if we allow a 'hegemonic advantage' of the Political Principles of Democracy. Democracy 'must govern', and it can only do so with the Principles of Freedom and Equality.
