What is the goal of Democracy? What is the goal of Capitalism?

The goal of Democracy is to form and structure a form of Government and a Social 'condition' that will protect and respect the Freedom and Equality of each and every real Individual within the jurisdiction of the Nation. The Goal of Capitalism is to Make, Create, Stabilize, economic Institutions that will help 'perpetuate' the economic 'condition' called 'more and more of the Same', viz., Money and Profits and large economic 'Institutions' that will 'help' the Individuals in the Social, or, in the 'condition of togetherness'. The goal of both Institutions should be to provide for the 'General Welfare' of the 'Peoples' in the Nation. Of course, we are all aware that once formed into a Political Entity, the 'condition of togetherness' became 'divided into Political Parties; and the Economy, with the help of 'Legal Fictions' called "Corporations", became divided into 'Haves' and 'Have-Nots', or, into the 1% and the 99%. For over 200 years, neither the 'Government' nor 'Capitalism' has 'attempted' to reconcile that 'dichotomy'. Instead, we have a political situation, where the Economy is trying to make 'inroads' into the Political. No!, No!, the Economy is in Political Office! Today's Political 'quagmire' is that the 'economy' is in Office. Economic thinkers, who think in Profit or Loss 'concepts' are 'driving' the ship of State. Is it any wonder that when one listens carefully to so-called 'political statements', they 'smell' like 'economic statements'? Where are the 'Freedom and Equality' concepts in all this? The Political has taken 'Second Place' in the arrangement of the 'condition of togetherness'. What has 'Man' done to 'Man'? From the best Political system we have descended into Plutocracy. How sad. We can blame the Political System or the Economic System, but it sure seems to be a 'Humankind fault'. 'Greed' has overcome 'Politics', or is it our 'Political Correctness'? Where are the Statesmen? We need a real Politician, one that is Strong, and that speaks Politics, and that 'knows' the Place of Politics( Democracy), and the place of Economics. Lets hope 'someone' shows up; if not, we're in a world of shit!
