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.
