To reinvigorate faith in democratic capitalism as the best path to liberty, opportunity, and prosperity

Um, this is one of the great myths of the modern era; that democracy and capitalism are somehow intertwined and that the economic system supports the political system. This is a major load of bullshit.

Capitalism loathes democracy and if the nation lets it will undermine and subvert it. As the last several decades in the States have demonstrated.

Capitalism can have a decent working relationship, as the years between 1945 and approx. 1970 showed, but they’ll never be friends.

As my favourite writer puts it, “Capitalism was content under Hitler, happy under Mussolini, very happy under Franco and delirious under General Pinochet.”
