Every Nation, needs an Economy, hence, Capitalism and Business entities.
Every Nation needs an Economy; hence Capitalism and 'Business Entities'. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not against a 'Capitalistic form' of an Economy. An economy should be strong and self-sufficient within its Capitalistic form. What I'm against is using the Capitalistic Form as the 'driver' of a 'Democratic Political Entity'. A Democratic Political Entity can only be 'driven' by 'Freedom and Equality'. Profits and money cannot drive a democratic Political Entity. A Dictatorship or a 'Kingdom' may have used 'Profits and Money', but that is no longer the case. Neither form of Government was a Democracy. The 'Divine Right of Kings' drove Kingdoms and anything the Dictator wants to 'use' can be used to drive a Dictatorship, even Force. An Oligarchy functions in the same way. But, none of those forms of Government is a Democracy. Democracy can only be 'driven' with the Freedom and Equality of all its 'Peoples' at the Bottom. Of course, a democracy also needs an Economy and the Economy is free to use the Capitalistic principles in its formation and establishment. But, the two Principles apply to 'different aspects' of the social in a Democracy. Democratic Principles apply to the Political Entity and Capitalistic Principles apply to the Economic Entity and never shall the twain meet. Democracy requires Freedom and Equality. Hence, Economic Principles must stay out of Politics. A democratic Political Entity must be driven by Freedom and Equality. Of course, this fact does not disqualify all Millionaires and Billionaire Candidates. But, Candidates must be Politically informed and s/he must know the 'requirements of Democracy' before they can assume the 'Positions of Political Office'. Unfortunately, most Millionaire Businessmen are too involved in their Businesses to be concerned with the Freedom and Equality of the 'Bottom'. The 'Poor' do not have the 'requirements of leadership', but neither do most Millionaires. So, in a Democracy, we must always be on the 'alert' with 'all Candidates' for Higher office. They may not be thinking the same as you and I.
