The fact that we all casually talk about how big money is almost a requirement to get into, run, manage, and maintain politics … goes to show you how democratic the system is.
The fact that corporations are the dominate social structure is undisputable. Everything, including notions of democracy, is secondary to this. Whenever there is a conflict between wealth and the general populace the government will always side with money due to corruption.
This is pretty universal across all nations. There is not a democracy that does not suffer from this problem. At this point it really does feel that democracy in most forms is just a window dressing for corportocracy.

Oh don’t get me wrong. Even though I live in a fascist nation my life is not bad. I just bought a house, I have a stable job. I have a big family I get to hang out with everyday.
I have a job for the first time in thirty years I can afford to insure my family with. A lot of my contemporaries are not so lucky though.
I think it is good just to point it out. It helps to keep me thinking straight and not feel gaslight by my government when it makes policy decisions to benefit the wealthy.
