      Another reason why the omnipotence of “wealth” is more certain in a democratic republic is that it does not depend on defects in the political machinery or on the faulty political shell of capitalism. A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell, it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

      Crazy how some guy named Vladimir noted this a century ago and it still holds true. I wonder if it has to do with the simple interplay between capitalists and the politicians, and the deliberately obfuscated system of 'lobbying' that we should just call 'bribery'.

      No, I guess it's all Joe Liebermann's Donald Trump's Joe Manchin's Kyrsten Sinema's the voters' TBD's fault.

      Begging liberals to read theory that isn't Harry Potter fanfic.
