I have never said they were the "same thing". However, anyone with an IQ over 3 understands the fact that the two are intertwined and one drives the other.
Slow down Observer, you are way over his head by now.

This is an odd statement. If most people don't want a capitalist system then how is it "intertwined" with democracy? If capitalists are using their power as capitalists to impose their will upon the majority of the population, how is that democratic?

Note my title to the thread. I am asserting, vis a vis Hartmann, that you people conflate "raw capitalism" or lassaize faire with democracy. That seems to have gone over your head.

I assure you that my IQ is well over 3 and I don't see how "the two are intertwined and one drives the other."

ivanm,

Its called back pay. And its owed. So shut the hell up about it because I do not want to discuss this with your dumb ass.

Because I know the kind of stupidity I am going to get from you.  And I came here to get away from that.

MY IQ is higher than yours and they only intertwine if captalism is the economic system in a democracy. You don not necesarily have a capitalist economic system because you are a democracy. There are a democratic countries that are using socialism in this world and they have suceeded.

But when a person gets their philosophy from a work of fiction the kind of posts that you present should be expected.

If you don't want to discuss it then why did you bring it up?

Because its not worth discussing with you. I already know what type of ignorance I am going to get from you.
