Capitalism can endanger Democracy.

Capitalism can endanger Democracy. The Democratic political form is a Three Branch form that 'allows' the 'People' at the Bottom of Government to participate in politics. Democracy is motored by the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each' and 'every' Individual at the Bottom of Government. Democracy insures that each and every Individual is Free and Equal. Freedom and Equality motors the Democratic spirit. Capitalism is the 'form' taken by the economy. The economy is an 'essential part' of the social in a democracy. But, the economy and Capitalism is driven by 'profits'. No economic institution can survive in Capitalism if its not making a 'profit'. Consequently, there is a huge difference in the spirit of Democracy and the spirit of Capitalism. The spirit of Capitalism cannot 'drive' a democratic society. Only, the 'values' of a democratic government can drive a 'democracy'. Its a terrible mistake to use an 'economic standard' to 'drive' democratic 'politics'. 'Profits' or 'money' cannot drive Democracy. Don't misunderstand this last statement. To be sure a Democracy has a duty to provide for the welfare and well being of its People; and that includes; jobs, fair wages, medical care, etc., or what is Constitutionally known as the 'General Welfare', which includes economic welfare. But, 'democratic politics' should not just focus on profits, and money; they drive the economy, not democracy. Democracy is driven by 'Freedom and Equality'; Capitalism is driven by profits; and never shall the twain meet. To be sure, both Institutions are important, but don't confuse the two; their 'motors' are different. Plutocracies and Oligarchies are driven by profits. Democracy is driven by the Freedom and Equality of every Individual at the Bottom of Government.
