If Economics and Capitalism replaces Democratic Government; Democratic Government will 'Deconstruct'.

If the Individual 'Impulse' of 'Economics and Capitalism' replaces the Individual 'impulse' of 'Democratic Government', then Democratic Government will 'Deconstruct'. Stated differently; if Capitalism 'continues' to make 'inroads' into Democracy, a Government 'of the People, 'by the People' and 'for the People', will no longer exist: a 'Motor' designed to make 'Profits and Money' will replace a 'Motor' designed to 'Protect' Individual Freedom and Equality. The 'sad part' is that the 'Perpetrators' of this 'political phenomena' do not seem to be aware of whats happening; maybe they are aware but, that would just make it 'sadder'... the pursuit of an elusive 'Fiction', a 'Medium of Exchange', 'replaces' 'Real' 'Freedom and Equality'. An Individual can 'fully experience' Freedom and Equality; and its utterly ridiculous to replace 'that' with some quantifiable 'fiction' whose only merit seems to be that it can be 'counted'. Of course, 'Greed' then produces 'more and more of the same'. Isn't that similar to that old 'childish game', "my Dad can beat up your Dad", with "I have more 'Money than you Have', and we also have a Forbes List to keep track of whose on Top. An 'Economy' cannot drive a 'Polity'. Of course, every Polity needs an Economy, but it cannot drive 'Freedom and Equality'. In a Corporate Society, 'Real' Freedom and Equality goes out the Window; and the 'Society' is ruled 'Autocratically'; and the Real Individuals become "indebted' Individuals",( from, Maurizio Lazzarato, "The Making of the Indebted Man"); who owe their 'Soul' to the Company Store.( from an Old Song, in the 50's. I think.) The Individual becomes a 'Cipher' that can be 'counted', 'arranged' and 'manipulated' and 'Mapped' into a Social without 'Freedom and Equality'. The 'impulse' towards Freedom and Equality becomes 'suppressed', 'unrecognizable', and 'replaced' with a quantifiable 'Sum", unreachable by the 'Real' ordinary Human Being. Where are the real Statesmen?
