    Since when did “better” mean “perfect?” What other economic systems have been tried that don’t have not only the same, but also worse issues? Where is this golden economic utopia you seem to think exists in the world? Because even the supposedly communist countries benefit from capitalistic economies.

    Just as the quote before about democracy being the worst form of government except for all others; democracy isn’t perfect, but it sure beats the fuck out of monarchies, empires, true republics, and all the other forms of government that exclude the voice of the common person.

          You know that Capitalism is the total opposite of democracy, right? Only the CEOs and investors get to decide how the economy functions. In socialism, since the workers own the means of production, everyone gets to vote on how the means of production get used. You keep using democracy in an analogy for an anti-democratic system which is capitalism.
