Rule by the People and for the People = Real Democracy!
Capitalism is not rule by the people, it is rule by the rich.
It goes to war only to safeguard their Wealth.
The Working Class are sent to their injury and death to maintain or extend the dominance of their rulers. And, yet it never benefits the People.
Capitalism still has its regular Depressions and Major Slumps as in 1929-1940 and 2008-now, and it is always the People who suffer.
Yet, the current Slump, as usual, delivers for the Bosses the very best circumstances for reversing what gains the Working Class have made, and even promises the rich a return to their good-old-days of rule, and the old debased standards of life for the majority of the People. This makes them easier to exploit and makes greater Wealth for the Bosses.
Employment is UP, but only at lower wages and in insecure jobs.
But, what was it that the Working Class expected? What was this "Socialism" that they aspired to?They constitute the vast majority, and produce all of the Nation's Goods, Wealth and Services.
And, they do have the Vote.
If their needs and wants were paramount, the World would be very different indeed! Not a single Stately Home would still be occupied by the rich: they would ALL be used where they are needed most, for the old, and the ill, and for the young too! The enormous magnificent landscapes, surrounding those Stately Homes, would be for the People, in Leisure, Recreation and Sport, and even for Housing.
Making the rich even richer, would have to be totally terminated and reversed! Why should anyone have such Wealth, Privilege and Power?
You may well ask how the current imbalance was able to establish itself in spite of "Democracy"? It's an excellent question! So, here are a few more:-
I think you know the answers! So, do we have Real Democracy? You know the answer to that too!

- Is this Democracy independent of Wealth?
- Are the means of informing the People independent of Wealth?
- Can the Electorate sack their MP for not serving them?
- Are the largest Political Parties independent of Wealth?
I think you know the answers! So, do we have Real Democracy? You know the answer to that too!
Whilever Wealth can always intervene effectively, there will never be Real Democracy. The name for the only truly Democratic System which has been strived for, for centuries, and something we have so far failed to achieve, is Socialism.
To append what we currently have with the description of it being a Democracy, is not just a bad joke, it is a downright lie.
