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'.
