Democracy in of itself is corrupt. It's why many nations don't want it and why Western powers have to bomb or coerce Democracy into other nations.
Let me be clear, I love Capitalism. I wish everyone in a Capitalist society would become wealthy from their hard work. I hate lobbyists and interests groups. And I hate governments who dk suck lobbyists for their personal gains rather than the prosperity of its citizens.
Representative democracy has its problems but that doesn't mean it can't and isn't further corrupted by capitalism.
Well, when the capitalist powers want something those counties have, they also install dictatorships and theocracies. In fact, capitalism doesn't care what system it is, it will corrupt and toxify them all.
