    If only capitalist democracy put the decision making power in the hands of the masses. We would have universal healthcare by now and like none of the wars of the past 30 years.

    No, really it’s the capitalists who make decisions, and they’ve designed it so that the people who own capital can take advantage of the people who don’t own capital. It’s got very little to do with smart vs stupid, and very much to do with “has” vs “has not.”

      This is exactly it. It’s also why education has been under attack since the 80’s. It’s also why we fund schools based on the property tax
