Oh okay I see it's an "is vs. ought" sort of thing. I agree that both are corrupted by the trappings of one another, although I think government force is the real underlying problem--not capital inequality. Furthermore, I'm not sure symbiosis is the right team to describe a relationship that degrades both participants (capitalism + democracy)... Maybe toxic relationship? That sounds juvenile but hey.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If not seen from the viewpoint of those small elite groups benefiting from the arrangement (the shareholders of multi-billion dollar corporations, the bankers, the 'democratic' leaders), but instead from the general public's point of view, then you are absolutely right. It's a very toxic relationship.
It's that point in time now when a brother needs to step in between, push them apart and tell them to 'Get the f**k away from each other. You guys are SHIT together. Jesus!' :D
I think Democracy is shit on it's own, as well, though.
