A 'Capitalistic' economy is a 'huge aspect' of 'any' form of 'Political Entity'.

A 'Capitalistic economy' is a 'huge aspect' of any 'Political Entity'. If a Political Entity is Autocratic, Capitalism will reign Supreme. Why? Because both Entities, Political and Economic, will flourish at the Top. The 'Polity' will Rule 'Absolutely' from the Top; the Bottom does not have a say-so in the 'manner of Rule'. The Top is also guided by 'Economic Principles' that are characteristic of Autocratic Rule, i.e., 'More and More of the same', to wit Profits and Monies. In that scenario, there is no 'distinction' between a 'Political Result' and an 'Economic Result'. Power is absolutely at the Top and all economic Results also remain at the Top. Its entirely up to the Autocrat. Of course, it will be said that some Autocrats are 'Thoughtful and Nice' but, whats the likelihood? That sounds like the dis-functional 'Divine Right of Kings' form of Government. But, nevertheless, Absolute Power is at the Top and all Results are determined by the Top. That's why North Korea released the American Prisoners. No one 'told them', and, no one 'convinced' them, to do so. The 'Top' chose to release them. Strategy? probably, but that's the 'End of Story'. Now, we must see how a 'Capitalistic Economy' differs in a 'Real Democracy'. In a Democracy, Capitalism is also the form of the Economy, but it must be kept separate from the Political Entity. Why? because Political Principles in a Democracy are different from Capitalistic principles in an Economy. Political Principles are based on the Freedom and Equality of all the Real Individuals at the Bottom. A Democracy is a Government; 'Of the People', 'By the People' and 'For the people'. Notice, results are 'For the People'. ( That's from the Constitution). A Capitalistic Economy is based on 'economic principles' of 'more and more of the same, or, Profits and Monies. Capitalism 'runs' its Corporations like an 'Autocracy'( there's no room for 'Freedom and Equality') and that's O.K. for an 'Economy', but those Principles have to 'stay out of Politics'. When Business Principles 'motor' a 'Democracy'; democracy is in trouble. You will see 'many Economic decisions' being made, which mostly favors the 'Big Corporations' and the 1%. The 'Haves', have more! and the 'Have Nots', have less! Where are the real Politicians?
