Capitalism and democracy are incompatible, because freedom becomes another commodity to buy and sell, because corporate controlled media prevents a well informed electorate, because the rich have more influence over lawmakers than ordinary people, because tyranny through property is not somehow more free than tyranny through government power, because resources people need to live should not be commodities.

If we just up and got rid of the government, just threw it into the fucking Pacific, and there were no publicly controlled entities to replace it, we would all be living in a fascist state. I would be living in Walmartopia and you would be living in McDonaldsville, we’d be making pennies an hour, buying our processed flour (with what’s left after paying rent to Walmartopia and McDonaldsville) from the company store and driving on toll-roads through toxic waste-dumps and burned down slums where the residents couldn’t afford to pay for fire protection.

The profit motive unchecked by the public interest in some form IS tyranny. It is Machiavellian control and rampant power-grabbing. There is no conscience, there is no justice.
