And yet, every time democracy votes out capitalism, fascism intervenes to protect the capital. The capital gladly renounces democracy in order to protect its interests. This happened literally every time.
The only way you get rid of capitalism is with a revolution. They won't allow you to vote it away.

We can also notice that the Nordics aren't exactly hotbeds of growth, although there seems to be no shortage of innovation there. Yes, it is a damn hard balance to achieve, and harder to maintain. Yes, many of the capitalists will happily turn towards fascist-like tendencies. The key is to dial up the market regulation so that the excesses are curbed and to minimize (but not eliminate) inequality. Killing capitalism altogether by having the government own all the means of production is simply a recipe for disaster. IMO, the Nordic model is really the most sustainable.
