Democracy has been perverted by capitalism.

Democracy in practice only benefits the upper class, the lower class is not ignorant to their status and knowingly participates in their own subjugation. It's really quite remarkable, and even with this knowledge the middle and working classes don't seek a better life alternative. History will show how the idea of being fair, democracy, was intentionally used by the rich unfairly for decades until a point of enlightenment for society. Unfortunately we are still in the murky age of deception, enlightenment is within reach as the stinking rich reach with ever more greed which will no doubt backfire on them altering democracy, society, and equality for the better. Democracy needs to work for everyone, for this to work right capitalism must be phased out.
