Democracy cannot be 'motored' with business principles and Corporate America cannot be 'motored' with political principles.

Democracy cannot be 'motored' with 'business principles' and a 'Corporate America' cannot be 'motored' with 'democratic political principles'. A corporation can only be 'motored' with Profits and Money and a Democracy can only be motored with 'Equality and Freedom', and 'never shall the twain meet'. The only way that any Government can govern a so-called "Corporate Nation" is for that Government to be a Dictatorship or some 'form' of Autocracy. Of course, even in such a case, a 'Corporate economy' can only 'exist' if the 'corporations' are motored by 'Profits and Money'. However, these forms of Government 'own and control' the corporations and hence allow it to be part of the economy. Of course, these Governments are not Democracies; i.e., they are not Governments "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". People are not important in a Dictatorship or an Autocracy. But in a Democracy, 'the People' at the Bottom constitute the essence of Government. The Economy and hence, the Corporations, are also important in a Democracy, but they are still motored with business principles, not democratic principles. Business is not democratic and Democracy is not a Business. The two principles must be kept separate. Business knows how to make 'Profits and Money', but they 'cannot' Govern with 'Equality and Freedom'. So, what happened? Why is there such turmoil and confusion, at the highest level of Government? Simply, the Individuals in positions of political Power do not know 'how' to Govern. They come from the 1%; they are Billionaires; and probably 'good business-persons', but they are not 'Statesmen'. Even our so-called 'politically correct' politicians do not know 'how to Govern' but, at least, they have some idea of what 'governing' means. Nevertheless, we need 'States-persons', not 'political correctness'; and certainly; not Business Persons, at the helms of Government. How sad; we have Individuals 'driving' the Ship of State; individuals who do not have the 'proper licence'.

The Bottom Line of a Real Democracy is the Individual. The Individual is politically Equal and Free and is protected by the First Amendment.

The Bottom Line of a Real democracy is the Individual. S/He is politically 'Equal and Free'. Although normal usage is "Freedom and Equality", I use the term "Equality" first, to clarify and to avoid, the 'absurd position' that if I am Free first, then I can be 'Free to consider Others less Equal than Me. That's Absurd, you say; well, be very careful; if I am Free 'first', then I am free to consider myself 'Superior' to 'everyone else' and hence, can 'discriminate' Racially, discriminate Economically, be Greedy, and, if in political 'Office', can 'Govern Unequally'. No, Equality must be 'First', then, all Individuals, including different Races, different economic 'classes', etc., are 'Free' to do as they please within the 'confines of Legal Structure'. A democracy must have a Legal Structure. The Legal Structure is the structure that determines and defines the expression of Equality and Freedom within the 'legal boundaries' of the 'State'. One of the biggest 'understated' Problems of 'democracy' is its 'proximity' to Oligarchic Government; a Government by a 'select few'. That is not a Democracy. Now, just 'add' to that 'form of Government', a Government of the 'Few', who just happen to be Millionaires, or, Billionaires', and you have a Plutocracy, or, stated differently, a Government of the 1%, by the 1%, and 'for the 1%'. If this happens, and it has, the Real People at the Bottom of Government are no longer 'Equal'. 'Absurd', you said? No, that's where we are. But, think about it, the 'Real People' who are looked upon as being Unequal, are still, in a Real Sense, 'Equal and Free'. This Equality places a tremendous Responsibility on the Real Individual. That responsibility is to express ones Freedom, Verbally and Behavior-wise, in a 'Democratic manner', within the confines of Law; because, Real People live in a 'condition of togetherness', and each and everyone is 'Equal and Free'. But, don't fool yourself, we are in deep trouble; normal linguistic usage, or, normal political and Social terms are being 'changed', 'modified', 'confused', and, unfortunately, we have reached a 'daily-stage' where we cannot distinguish between 'reality' and 'bull-shit'. The stage for Real News has been destroyed. There is no longer a connection between the 'Media' and what is happening 'Up There'. The People at the Bottom are being manipulated; the Culprits?, the so-called 'Leaders at the Top'! Its time to remember 'parts' of the First Amendment; "the right of the People.... to assemble ...and ..to Petition for redress of grievances." That, is the Right of Revolution.

A Democratic Political Structure is different and functions differently from a Capitalistic Economic Structure.

A Democratic Political structure differs from a Capitalistic Economic structure. Political activity differs from economic activity. Political structures, of all kinds, and of different political Ideologies are designed to 'Govern' with 'Political Power', while Economic structures are designed to produce 'more and more of the same, to wit; Products, Profits, and Money, which is only a "Medium of Exchange". A 'Medium of exchange' is just as fictional as is a Corporation, but, to be sure, they are 'functional fictions' and create 'Value'. The two ( Political and Economic)Institutional Structures differ so much from each other that it can be said that, "never shall the twain meet". Each discipline has its proper 'social domain' and neither can function as the 'Other'. One Governs; the Other 'produces an economy'. A 'Social domain' is a 'condition of togetherness' where each and every Real Individual retains his Freedom and Equality in the said 'condition'. A Corporation is a legal Fiction and hence is not a Real Individual. Hence, Corporations cannot vote; but, nevertheless, receive 'a helping hand' from the Governmental Branches that are occupied by a divisive 'social' characterized as 'Democrats and Republicans', or, 'Conservatives and Liberals'. Obviously, these political 'Ideologues' also, "shall never meet". The Real Individuals are the Ones who vote for the Representatives that assume positions of Power. Government has Power; the economy, money and Profits have 'influence'. So why are all the Top Governmental Offices occupied by Business CEO's and Billionaires? Is it possible that they are concerned with the Freedom and Equality that Real Democracy is about? Very unlikely. Sad, but true, democracy has lost its grip on its 'reason for existing' and in its place we have an Oligarchy, or, a 'budding' Plutocracy. The 1% will get the 'Roses', we'll get the 'Sun Flowers'.

The Political Interactions between a Real Democracy and a Corporate Economy must be re-defined.

The Political interactions between a Real Democracy and a Corporate Economy must be re-defined. The economy will always be part of the Democracy. However, the two entities are driven by different 'motors' and hence require that each of the 'motors' be related to their separate independent goals. The economy can 'Never' drive the Political Entity, and the Political Entity can never survive on an 'Economic Motor' of Profits and Money. Hence each must stay out of the 'functional domain' of the Other. However, the Political Entity can 'help' and 'legislate' with relation to the Economy: this becomes evident by the creation of Legal Fictions, viz., a 'Corporate Person'. Needless to add, this move not only 'helps', but gives the Corporation a huge boost to its 'economic embrace'. A real human Person can no longer compete with a Corporate giant. The corporate entity is now judicially considered 'a Person', like you and I, within the protective embrace of the Constitution. But wait, that person is not like you and I. The Judicial Branch of Government must stop trying to create 'Judicial Fictions' that are 'more and more human'. It cannot be done. A Legal Fiction will always be a Legal 'Fiction'. Our 'Advanced Technology' is trying to do the same thing and the best they've come up with is either, Robots or Cyborgs. ( Machine or 'half-machine') Surreal, but True. The Constitution was designed to apply to Democratic 'Political Institutions 'motored' by the Freedom and Equality of each and every 'Real Human Being', living within the Nation-State. 'Politics' must also assume its real 'posture' and be driven by 'Freedom and Equality'. No more Political 'Correctness', its 'empty and vacuous', we need Real States-Persons. The Economy must assume its Real posture also and 'serve' the Social, or 'condition of togetherness'. ( not the 1%). We also need to make distinctions between 'Hoarding' a medium of exchange and 'Savings'. One is proper ,the Other is Not. We cannot 'lose sight' of the 'Genuine Feeling' of 'living' in a Real democracy. The 'remainder' is Alice in Wonderland.

Democracy is founded on Real Individuals; a Corporate Economy is founded on Legal Fictions.

Democracy is founded on 'Real Individuals' whereas, a Corporate Economy or, Corporate America is founded on Legal Fictions. A political Democracy relates to the Real Individuals that constitute the 'Bottom of the Governmental Structure'. The 'Top of Democracy is defined and described in the Founding Document establishing the Democracy, viz., the Constitution. A Three Branch Government of 'Real People' is a Government "of the People", "by the People", and, most important,"for the People". A Government 'for the People' is a 'Growing Government', or, a 'Mature Democracy' and that is one that 'expands' its Political Institutions to 'include' more and more of the Real Individuals within its Democratic Institutions. It eliminates Racial Discrimination; it eliminates 'economic imbalances'; it creates Jobs, more opportunities; it eliminates disease, sickness, poverty, and it truly, must include, the Equality of the Human Condition. Of course, every Democracy must also have an Economy. But, its a Democracy that 'has' an Economy and not an Economy that 'has' a Democracy. Try 'creating' a successful 'Business Corporation' within an Autocratic form of Government, and watch what happens. Democracy is basic. A Business Corporation is 'unreal', its a Legal Fiction'; its recognized by Law as a Fiction that 'only exists in contemplation of Law'. It exists solely for the creation of Profits and Money. It has no other goal. As an Economic Entity within an Economy, it's not a problem. But, it and its Economic Principles must stay out of Politics. 'Political Principles' and 'Business Principles' do not mix. Profits, Money, and Greed are harmful to the Democratic process. That's why we must do away with Citizens United. Corporations have no business in Politics. Their purpose for existing as Fictions is different. They have 'no interest' in Freedom and Equality, or stated differently, in Democracy. A Political Cabinet consisting of Business CEO's is problematic. We need 'Real' Politicians or, States-Persons; not 'Greedy Politicians', or 'Political Correctness', or Greedy Businessmen. If Democracy is to flourish, Corporate America must stay in its proper economic Place. That's where it can do its 'most Good'.

Democratic Government ( Top) gets Political 'Power' from the 'condition of togetherness'; not from Corporate America.

Democratic Government( Top) gets its 'Political Power' from the 'condition of togetherness' at the Bottom. That 'Condition' is composed of Real Individuals living together, next to each 'Other', in the said 'Condition'. Usually, the 'Condition' is referred to as the 'Social', but that abstract 'term' has acquired a 'deceptive' reputation when its referencing a Political Structure. Its better not to lose sight of the 'real Individuals' at the Bottom of Government. The real Individuals elect the Representatives who will serve in Office at the Top. By so doing, they 'empower' the 'Real Individuals' who will occupy Office, but only for the duration of Office. That's why there are 'term limits' for Office. A Corporation can never be elected to serve in Democratic Office, because its a 'Legal Fiction' and exists only in 'contemplation of Law'. In other words, its not Real, it does not exist as a 'Real Person'. It cannot vote either. Of course, it doesn't get 'sick'; it doesn't need Medical Attention; it doesn't 'eat' and it doesn't 'work'. We can go on all day with what it can't do, but, to be sure, it can generate Greed; that means more and more of the same, to wit, Profits and Money. But, a corporation cannot have Political power. It has influence because it has Money, but that is not Political Power. A Democratic Government can be 'motored' only with 'democratic Principles'; i.e. the Freedom and Equality of every Real individual in the 'Condition of togetherness'. Business Principles cannot, and should not, govern a Democracy. It can surely shuffle Money and benefits; it can create the illusion of progress, because there is 'more money' in 'some sector' of the economy in the Social; it takes 'from One' and gives to the 'Other'; but, in no case does it 'Insure and Protect' the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'every' Real Individual in the 'Condition' of togetherness. Business is not Government; business cannot Govern; only Government can govern the Individuals and the Businesses in the Social. Lets go back to 'Real Democratic Government'; lets get away from 'some twisted form' of Plutocracy.

Democracy must 'Govern'; Corporate Capitalism 'generates' Greed; and that must be controlled.

A characteristic of Democracy is that it needs to 'Govern' and apply 'Democratic Principles' to each and every 'Real' Individual in the 'Condition of Togetherness'. A characteristic of Capitalism is that it can generate Greed. Democracy must apply to every real Individual in the 'Condition of togetherness'( hereinafter, the Social). In a Democracy, regardless of Race, Color, or Creed, every real Individual must be 'counted' or, 'accounted for'. The Bottom of Democracy, or the 'Social', must be 'quantified' and every real 'Individual' must be included in the 'establishment' and 'distribution' of 'Rights', Juridical and Economic, that must be attributed to the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Individual. On the other hand, 'Capitalism' and business 'Corporations' are 'money making machines'; that's their sole function. They can only function with a 'motor' of 'Profits and Money'. To be sure, they belong in the Economy, as an 'essential Part' of the Polity. But, a 'Democratic Polity' is motored by 'Freedom and Equality'. Hence, the tension between Democracy and Capitalism. Capitalism has a great advantage over Democratic Government because its sole function is Profits and Money, and for that purpose, it has created 'Legal Fictions' called 'Corporations', and they are considered as a 'Person' subject to the protection of the Constitution. The 'Democratic Polity' doesn't have 'fictional Individuals'. They are all 'Real human beings' and the Freedom and Equality applies to each and every real human being. These real human beings constitute the Social and no real Human Being can compete with a 'Corporate Person'. The corporate 'economic embrace' is beyond measure. Capitalism has destroyed healthy competition. Of course, the increased 'economic embrace', or, 'economic Grasp', contributes to the 'lop-sided' economic 'balance' in the Social. That economic balance dominates the economic field and leads to 'Greed' and the 1%. So, do we get rid of Corporations? NO!,No!, No!, we give Corporations more democratic duties and we control Greed, or, the 'hoarding' of the Medium of Exchange. The democratic duties could include provisions in their Charters to provide more 'democratic Functions' with a 'newly formed internal structure'. With respect to hoarding, a medium of Exchange must circulate. That's its sole purpose. Hoarding by 'Corporations' or their "Owners" should be made Illegal, or, their Tax bracket should return to where it was some years ago, 70%-90%. A corporation is not a 'Real Person'; its a Fiction and hence, its not entitled to be treated as a 'Real Person'.

Democracy's greatest problem is the 'Capitalistic attitude' and hoarding a 'Medium of Exchange'.

Democracy's greatest problem is the Capitalistic attitude of the 'People' at the Bottom. There is nothing wrong with Capitalism as an economic system. Its the best economic system. But, the system, as a whole, is motored by Profits and Money. Hence, Capitalism has its place in a Democracy. nevertheless, it must stay within its 'own social boundaries'. That may not be too easy; because all the 'Peoples', at the Bottom of Government, and all Politicians also live within the same Governmental, Economic, Social, Capitalistic system. The two systems must function 'separately'. But. it becomes imperative for the 'Governmental part' and the 'Political Part', to function with Freedom and Equality for all the Individuals in the Social. Politicians must be 'conversant' and 'functional' within the Political system and hence, must function with 'political principles' of Democracy. The Problematic arises when we 'mix' the Two, or, sometimes, when Government is infiltrated with a 'Capitalistic attitude' that 'creeps' into Governing. In all Probability, there is no such thing as a Billionaire Politician. The reason for that is that an economy cannot function with the Motor of Freedom and Equality and a Democratic Government cannot function with a motor of Profits, Money, and Bigness. Hence, a Political candidate must be a Politician. Normally, a Billionaire is motivated by Profits, Money, and Bigness, whereas, a Politician should be motivated by 'political principles'; 'political Ideology'; and the altruistic 'wish' to Govern with 'Democracy'. A Billionaire 'Politician' wants 'more and more of the same' and builds 'Big Buildings', and makes decisions based on Profits, money and 'a Good Deal'. A 'Real Politician' wishes to eliminate 'discrimination' of all kinds; particularly, Racial, Economic; and Educational; and to arrange the Social in a 'form or structure' that protects and respects the Freedom and Equality of 'all real Individuals' in the Social. His first priority should be to 'rearrange' the 'internal form' of the Corporation, so that it 'reflects' a more 'democratic' form of existence. After all, Law creates Corporations. Its time Corporations also become 'motored' by some Democratic Political principles and not solely, by economic principles. Business Corporations are Money Making Machines and hence those Profits and monies should go to some 'Democratic ideals' and 'functions', instead of the 1%. 'Hoarding' a 'Medium of Exchange' should be a punishable Legal Offence. After all, its only a 'medium of exchange', and its only created for that 'sole function'.

The Democratic 'motor' works upon 'each' Individual; the Capitalistic 'motor' works upon 'Economic Institutions'.

The Democratic motor works upon 'each' and 'every' Real Individual in the 'Condition of Togetherness'( hereinafter referred to as 'the Condition'). Every Individual must be 'accounted' and 'provided for', within the 'Condition'. The reason for that is that 'each Individual' retains his/her unique 'Individuality', and must 'count' in the establishment of 'Democratic governing'. One cannot 'count' within 'general abstractions' like Social, Society, The People, the Bottom, etc.. General abstractions cannot be 'verified'. Unfortunately, they leave 'too much wiggle room' for 'duplicity' and they do not provide any mode for 'accountability'. In a 'Real Democracy', each 'real' Individual must be 'counted', and S/he cannot be swept under the 'rug of 'abstract generality'. That means that when we say every Individual is Free and Equal, we must 'include', i.e., 'count' 'every' Individual, regardless of 'Race', 'Color', 'Creed', 'Class', Social, or Economic standing. If, You or I, are not 'counted' in formulating Freedom and Equality in the 'condition of togetherness', we do not live in a Democracy. When we 'Quantify Democracy', every Real Individual is 'Counted' and every 'Leader' is 'Accountable'. In Capitalism the goal is to 'Produce', 'more and more of the Same', i.e., Profits and Money. That created the 1%. Capitalists want Big, Huge, never-ending 'more and more'. They even went to the extent of creating Legal Fictions called 'Persons', like you and I, and afforded them Constitutional protection. Capitalists don't 'Govern'; they 'Produce': on the Other hand, Politicians don't 'produce', they 'Govern' with 'Freedom and Equality'. A good Politician probably wouldn't make a very Good Businessman; and a good Businessman would never make a 'good Politician'. The point is don't 'inextricably' mix the Two. Keep 'Big Business' out of Politics, and get rid of Citizens United.

The 'Democratic Motor' establishes Law and Order to 'drive' Freedom and Equality of the Individual.

The Democratic 'Motor' establishes Law and Order to 'further' drive the Freedom and Equality of the Individual. Only a democratic Motor can do that. Law and Order 'establishes' and 'arranges' an 'orderly' and 'effective' 'condition of togetherness' that 'protects and defends' the freedom and equality of all the 'real' Individuals in the Nation, or the 'Social'. This arrangement of the 'condition of togetherness' must originate at the 'Top of Government', or, stated differently, at the 'inception of the Governmental Entity'; i.e., its 'Constituted nature', or, its Constitution. Constitutional Law 'governs' the constituted nature of the Nation and the 'place' of the Real Individual of the Social. The 'economic motor' is also a 'necessary part' of the 'National scheme'; but, the 'economic motor' is part of the 'Political' or 'Democratic motor'. The Nation and the real Individuals need an Economy but, at this point, great care must be taken. The Economy is 'part' of the political and not the other way around. There are 'political terms' like 'Political Economy' that can be used to 'confuse' the priority of the Terms. There's a great danger to misunderstanding the priority of the 'two Institutions'. If we place the Economic 'prior' to the Political, we are placing their respective motors at the point of Origin. The motor of the Economic is 'profits and money' and the motor of the Political is 'Freedom and equality'. Neither Institution can function with the 'Motor' of the Other. Try making a 'Profit' with Freedom and Equality, or, try implementing 'Democracy' with profits and money. Another problem is that the Economic sector has Legal Fictions or, 'artificial persons'. They are not 'Real Persons'. Hence, they should not be 'equated' to the 'Real'. In a real Constitutional Democracy, all the 'real persons' are protected by the Constitution. The Legal Fiction can also be protected, but only 'up to a point'. They are not Real!; and 'should not' be 'equated' to the Real. There goes 'Objectivity'. Get rid of Citizens United!

A Democracy requires Law and Order to protect the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Individual.

A Democracy protects the 'Freedom and Equality' of each and every 'Individual', in the 'Condition of Togetherness', through Law and Order. Law and Order is both a 'positive statement' and a 'negative statement' of what an Individual 'can' and 'cannot' do. The term Law and Order refers to the 'structure' or 'form' of the 'condition of togetherness', as it is 'circumscribed', and 'structured', by Law. That's why it is said that we are a 'Nation of Laws'. There are many kinds of Law. Constitutional Law 'delineates' the 'establishment' and the 'Power' in the Three Branches of Government. The Constitution 'constitutes us' as a Nation. Civil and Criminal Law delineates the Laws governing Civil Society or the 'condition of togetherness'. It sets out general Rights and structures a 'Social'. Whereas, Criminal Law sets out, in negative fashion, what we cannot do. If we violate a criminal statute, we can be punished and even put in jail. If a Corporation violates a Criminal Law, it cannot be punished or put in jail, because it does not exist. Its a Legal Fiction and exists only in contemplation of Law. Of course, there are Laws that govern corporations; their creation, and their structures. The 'Fiction' is created by Law. A Corporation is not a Natural entity. If a corporation does something wrong, it can be corrected, but, if in violation of Criminal Statutes, it cannot be put in jail. Its possible to get behind the corporate structure to punish the real Individual behind the infraction, but first one must "pierce the corporate veil", to get to the Individual. That's not an easy task. Corporations are "Persons" and entitled to protection by the Constitution, but they are not 'real' Persons. A real Person cannot compete with a Corporation. Hence, the economy is 'out of kilter'. The motor that drives a Democracy is freedom and equality. The motor that drives the Economy and Capitalism is Profits, and money. The Two motors must be kept separate because Democracy cannot survive with profits and Money; and Capitalism cannot survive with Freedom and Equality.

Democracy is not perfect; but its a viable system for implementing its Principles.

Democracy is not perfect; but its a viable system for implementing its Principles. The fact that it has Three Branches of Government is already a 'different approach' to Governing; an approach that allows for the 'participation' of each of the Three Branches to function in their different capacities. Of course, the interaction between the Branches is not a perfect one; but its a 'means' which allows for the 'expression' of the 'will' of the 'Individual', or, stated differently, for the 'expression' of 'the Bottom', of Government, or, of the 'will of the People' in their 'condition of togetherness'. The Bottom, the People, 'legislates'; the Top, the Government, 'Governs'; and the 'sides' or the Third Branch, 'Adjudicates'. Its the best system of Government around; not Perfect, but then we live in a 'real World'. The system has many areas that need improvement. But, that is not a reason for discarding the system. To be sure its a reason to 'better it' or to try to 'perfect it'. But, the division into Three Branches further requires that the 'function' of each 'Branch' must remain 'separate'. A 'Separation of Powers' is necessary for the 'Structure' or 'Form' of Democracy to 'retain' its 'democratic nature', i.e., a Government "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". No 'One Branch' can interfere with the 'Other Branch'. If the System is to remain 'viable', the System must 'respect' and be 'Bound' by the 'function' of the 'Other' Branches of the System. A Three Branch Government can only function by means of 'Law and Order'. Law and Order governs the Social, or, the Bottom, or 'the condition of togetherness'; Law and Order governs the function of the 'Executive Branch' by Constitutional interpretation. At this point, great care must be taken, because the Third Branch must decide, objectively, if possible, what is 'Law'and 'Order' in a Three Branch form of Governmental interaction. The problematic is that the members of the Third Branch already belong to different 'Political Parties', and the 'Social' is further organized into 'Federal' and 'States' groupings, or into a 'Republic' form of Government; so the question is what constitutes 'Objectivity' in Adjudication?

A Democracy solely 'driven' by 'Capitalistic principles' is in trouble.

A Democracy solely driven by Capitalistic Principles is in trouble. In such a case, the Democracy will never improve itself; never become more efficient; never eliminate the 'non-democratic aspects' of its Political structure; never eliminate Racial discrimination; sexual discrimination; economic injustices; never 'celebrate' the 'Human Condition'. In such a case, the end results of all activity within the Nation will gradually transform the Democratic form into a Plutocratic form, or, an Oligarchic form. The 'focus' of 'such a transformed entity' 'drifts away' from the 'political principles' of 'Governing' with Freedom and Equality. That is not a 'Political Entity' called a 'Nation'; that is closer to an 'Economic Entity' called a 'Corporation' whose sole goal is to 'accumulate' as much as possible, and to be as 'Large and Powerful' as Possible'. How sad; Governing has been replaced by 'accumulation' that is 'motored' by 'Greed', i.e. more and more of the 'same' (money and the 1% ). An economic Institution cannot have Power, that is an 'economic illusion'. It may have 'influence', but, never Power. 'Power only exists in Political Entities' because their Job is to Govern the Bottom of the 'Power relation' found in the 'ancient relation' of the One and the Many; or, the 'Top and the Bottom' of Government. Governments must 'govern'; economies must 'produce' more and more of the same,i.e., products, money, and 'Big Buildings'. The economic form 'changes' every time that a 'new way' or a new product is discovered and can be used for making money. The Democratic form of Government does not change and is always searching for ways to eliminate all 'types of discrimination'; 'imbalances'; and 'problems'; in the Freedom and Equality 'guaranteed' to each and every Real Human being living in the 'condition of togetherness'. In this way, Government 'serves' and provides for the General Welfare of the People.

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.

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!

Democracy is the best form of Government. Capitalism is the best Economic Form. But, "never shall the twain meet".

No form of government is perfect; but Democracy is the best form. It's the best form because Governments 'Govern' their 'People' and Democratic Government is "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". The sole function of Government is to 'Govern'; it has no other reason or purpose for existing. Nations and Governments are 'created' or 'established' by the People. Nations and Governments are Political Institutions. They are not Natural, nor, are they 'born', i.e., in the manner that human beings are parts of Nature and are born. Hence, what better form for a Government, than a Government "of People", "by People" and "for People"? But, there are other important aspects to Governing a Nation or a 'Society' (a high level abstraction, hence, better stated as a "condition of togetherness"), that need elaboration. Each and every real Individual in the "condition of togetherness' needs to have the means for continuing their existence, or, stated differently, 'of survival' within the Nation. That further means that Nations and Governments must provide the 'Institutional means' by which these 'necessities' are made available to all the Individuals in the 'condition of togetherness', hence, the General Welfare. Here, enters Law and Capitalism. ( Ill get to Law later). Capitalism is an 'economic form' without peer. Capitalism is 'Good', its 'Great'. We need Capitalism. But, at this point we must be very, very careful. Capitalism has a 'motor', a 'movement' that insures 'its survival', as an economic Form. Governments also have their 'Motors'. Democratic Governments, 'must Govern'. They have no 'Other function'. At this point great care is necessary. Democratic Governments govern with 'Freedom and Equality'; i.e., each and every real Individual under their jurisdiction is considered Free and Equal. But, Capitalism is motored by competition, Money, and Profits. Capitalism cannot Motor a Democracy and Democracy cannot motor Capitalism. They must work 'together' but, they must remain separate entities. Democratic Governments 'suffer' when they are motored by 'Profits and money'( the 1%). Capitalism 'suffers' when it is motored by 'Freedom and Equality'. Never Shall The Twain Meet.

The term "Social" gives birth to the term "Socialism''; which is used as a weapon for 'political BS'.

The term Social gives birth to the term 'Socialism' which is political BS. "Social" is a high level abstraction that assumes the 'reality' of each and every 'real' Individual in 'Society', or, at the Bottom of Government. Its a Political term and as such should include all the 'real Individuals' within the boundaries of the Bottom or the so-called 'Social Space'. It should include every 'real Individual' at the Bottom of the 'condition of togetherness'. In the 'condition of togetherness', also referred too as the 'Bottom of Government', the Individuals that are 'left out', glaringly 'stand-out' and hence can be 'counted'. But, in 'Socialism', the term is so broad that it merely 'assumes' that everyone is included. Of course, 'political correctness' is full of such generalities. Maybe some of those terms are necessary, but the term " Social" can easily be 'replaced', or 'understood' with the following words; 'the condition of togetherness'. In the 'condition of togetherness', every 'real Individual' is included in the 'condition' and, consequently, can be 'counted'. By, so doing, we 'quantify' the 'term', which enables us to really 'measure the condition'; hence, it becomes easy to measure 'inclusion' and exclusion', and hence, 'Government accountability' becomes possible. That move 'quantifies' the 'Bottom' of democratic Government. It 'quantifies Democracy'. Most, if not all, Nations claiming to be 'Socialistic', are not really concerned with the 'real Individuals' under their care, or with a so-called 'inclusive' Social. They are more concerned with a 'form of Autocratic Rule' with 'favoritism' towards "legal Fictions" called 'Persons' ( corporations) than they are with a form resembling 'real Democratic Government'. Hence, the term 'Socialism' becomes a 'weapon' against any attempt to really include the 'real human beings' at the Bottom' of democratic Government. Do we dare say it, they favor "fake- Persons" instead of 'real human beings'.

The terms "Society" and 'Social' must be distinguished from "the condition of togetherness".

The terms "Society" and the term "Social" must be distinguished from the words " the condition of togetherness". The reason being that the first two terms are very high level abstractions and in referring to 'real' Individuals 'living' in the 'social', cannot afford to lose their 'precision'. The term "condition of togetherness' retains the individual existence of each and every Individual in the 'condition' described as "togetherness". The term 'togetherness', as a term of 'collection' cannot exist unless their is 'someone else' that also 'exists' alongside the 'Others'. In other words the term is 'inclusive' and each Individual can be 'counted',i.e., 'included' or 'excluded' and hence that allows for 'accountability'in Government. The other two terms are 'too abstract' and can be used to 'exclude'. Don't get me wrong, its possible to use the terms ,but not with the same 'precision'. Hence, the 'caution' in the use of the terms. Of course, in the 'relation' between the Top and the Bottom of Government, the Top relates to the Bottom of Government, and the Top must Govern the Bottom and must 'include' each and every 'real' Individual in the 'Social'. No 'real' Individual can be excluded. Government must Govern and that means it must pass Laws which provide Order, and it must 'care and provide' for the 'Social and the General Welfare of its Citizens. Government is a Political Institution and its sole function is to Govern. A Government is not a 'referee'; nor, does it just 'stand-by' while the 'Social deconstructs'; it must 'Govern' and it must 'Govern' democratically. There is no other function for Government. If Government 'fails', it must be replaced.

Every Nation needs a Political 'motor' and an Economic 'motor'.

Every Nation needs a 'motor' i.e. a Political 'motor' as well as an Economic 'motor'. Each of the motors serves as a 'motivational factor' for 'moving', 'accomplishing', a Political and an Economic 'result' within the Nation. Both are essential and 'the end result' serves to 'delineate' the 'form' or the 'structure' of the 'Social or Society' we live in. The 'structure' or 'form' of the Social is basic and applies to every 'Society', whether primitive or technologically sophisticated. But, an 'essential aspect' of the 'basic formation' of the Social also determines the direction that the Nation takes. Of course, both the Political Entity and the Economic Entity are essential aspects of the Nation. The Nation can be Autocratic, or 'Other' variations, or Democratic, or 'Other' variations, and the 'social' can be subject to Autocratic or Democratic Governing. At this point enters the 'Purity' of the 'Governing' factor. If democracy Governs, the Freedom and Equality of every Individual is, or should be, assured. But, a problematic can also enter at this point. That problem is the 'economic factor' or Capitalism. If the Economic factor dominates, or stated differently, if the 'Economic Motor' overwhelms the Political Motor, it becomes dominant and the political motor loses its efficacy. That's exactly what happened when the Government created the Business Corporation and legally considered it as a 'Person' subject to Constitutional protection. An economic 'legal Fiction' created to help the economic sector to achieve stability and, whether foreseen or not, dominance. That move also helped create the 1%. The end result is 'Plutocracy' with 'tinges of Autocracy'; viz., a Government 'of' the 1%, 'by' the Corporate elite, and 'for' the corporate elite. The 'Legal Fiction' has become Master. What has 'become' to Democracy and to Freedom and Equality?

Its very important to distinguish between 'Governing Principles' and 'Economic Principles'.

In a Democracy, there is a clear distinction between 'Governing Principles' and 'Economic Principles'. Of course, every Political Entity, regardless its Political Nature, needs an Economy. But, its important to distinguish between Economic, or, Capitalistic principles, and Democratic Principles. A Democracy is a Government "of the People", "by the People", and "for the People". The People 'create' the Government for the purpose of 'Self-Rule'. We have already said that 'one lone Individual living on an Island, all by him/her self' does not need Government. He or She will learn how to 'cope', how to acquire 'food', how to stay 'safe', how to prolong his or her existence. Perform the 'Thought experiment'. If you do, you will find that in that 'scenario', Government is unnecessary. But, the 'reality' is different. There is not just one Individual on the Island, there are 'millions' of People on the 'Island'. 'Many Peoples' need a Government! But, its the millions of 'People' that 'need Government'; It is never a 'Government' that needs People. Government would not even exist, but for the 'Many People' that need it. Hence, what better 'form' of Government is there, than one that is "of the People", "by the People", and "For the People". Once the Government is established, it has to 'run on' the Freedom and Equality of each and every Individual that helped set up the Democratic form of Government. Economic Principles work differently. The goal is always to make a Profit; to get Larger; to generate 'more and more' of the same; viz., Money. So, what better way to generate huge amounts of money than to 'create Legal Fictions', i. e., Corporations that only 'exist in contemplation of Law'. Already one can see the uneven 'playing field' that renders 'competition' obsolete and favors 'Greed' and 'economic obesity'. That creates the 1%. That creates Plutocracy. That's why Democratic Government cannot run on Economic Principles; Democratic Government must run on 'freedom and Equality'. If a Corporation wants to be considered a 'Person', it should 'live' more democratic, it should be required to have 'Branches' that do 'charitable work', in exchange for the huge 'economic grasp' it has 'been given'. Failing that, it should be dissolved. Democracy created 'Economic Monsters'; its time democracy acquired 'more control' over the business corporation.
