Re: Democracy = Capitalism?

How is that so?
I see that Capitalism helps the "winners" of the free market and destroys the "losers" outright.

The winners are everyone. Everyone benefits when competition forces producers to increase efficiency. The "losers" in competition are not "destroyed", but their inefficient methods are punished by way of financial losses.
The losers themselves are free to improve their methods and try again, or find another line of work.

Unless you own your own business you are earning less than you produce (unless the business you work for returns no profit, then you could earn exactly what you produce.)

But you're producing something with materials owned by someone else. You're earning what your *labor* is worth.

Since the majority of people do not own their own business they are producing something but not earning what its worth. This would mean that most people are hurt by capitalism Since they could earn what their production is worth under other systems.

What system values their labor more?
