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'.
