“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant,” she said, referencing her rally last year on the White House Ellipse in Washington. “We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up,”
Exactly what a neoliberal would say.
Really it’s the exact opposite. Capitalism is antithetical to democracy. How could it be otherwise when wealth and power is concentrated in the hands of the few.
She isn’t wrong she just fails to mention that capitalism is parasitic. Cancer thrives. Diseases thrive. They thrive by destroying, consuming and exploiting.
