    It's not democracy when shareholders control the news. It's not democracy when only the wealthy can afford to take office. It's not democracy when our workplaces are dictatorships. Democracy isn't the problem, capitalism is.

      I whole heartedly agree. My complaint is towards people who think we still live in a democratic state and can therefore just vote our problems away or that another election cycle will solve this.

        Because the capitalist/state controlled media has been propagandizing them on it. If the media isn't democratic, neither are our governing structures.
