Democracy is not Capitalism.
Capitalism is not Democracy.

I wish everyone, including Bernie Sanders, would stop conflating democracy with capitalism. We all know that present day Democratic Socialism is a system that includes capitalism; but, it is NOT Democratic Socialism--it is Capitalistic Socialism or Capital Socialism. It is a system that taxes the rich and its capital, to fund the educational, health, transportation and communication infrastructure for all---the social needs of the commons. The process of democracy can bring about capitalism, or socialism, but it IS—neither.
By the way, this writer is much in favor of Capital Funded Socialism or Capital Socialism.
