You are all operating through a framework of capitalism to try and detach yourselves from it. The government that is a puppet for capitalist rule shouldn't be compared to a government that is run by a democracy. The United States isn't a democracy, it's a republic. Our "representatives" are just an agent of mediation poisoned by corporate capitalists. Socialist markets controlled by the people, with wealth distributed evenly, eliminating class barriers and promoting collective advancement. Oops, that makes too much sense
