- ekianjo 8y agoequal political representation and in general equal rights no matter where you come from. Democracy says nothing about everyone being poor or something. Its a political system, not an economical one.
- jadedhacker 8y agoThis is a new concept under capitalism: the hard wall between economics and politics. It favors the liberal bourgeoisie professional-managerial class. Unfortunately, politics and economics are basically one and the same. Some people win, others lose. The only defensible goal is to make as many people win as possible. Capitalism does not do that.
