Now here is a concept that has been successfully sold to the world's public. Somehow if their is an open market then there will be democracy. Recently in the magazine Foreign Policy in an article written by Robt. Reich pointed out that the globalization of capitalism is eroding the power of the people around the world. A world where common good and government takes a back seat to big business.
Look around! How about China? It is a huge capitalistic country, but it is governed by communists, well those pretending to be communists. Democratic institutions are lacking in the country. Vietnam is becoming a major player in the world of big business, with Microsoft and others coming to the country in search of cheap labor--oh yeah--IT IS A COMMUNIST country!
Do you really believe that capitalism equals democracy? If so, you are probably a product of the failed Bush educational program of "No Child Left Behind".
Capitalism has NOTHING to do with democracy! A true democracy is in search what is best for all the people and is controlled by the people. There is no such government on the face of the earth. Go ahead look around--Find one! Good luck, you will need it!
