Democracy is when everyone is desperately poor no matter how hard or smart they work.
Which is still better than having extremely poor and extremely wealthy people.
I should have clarified. In Amerikkka, there is a large number of extremely poor people (proletariat), a small number of people who are doing better and who therefore believe that capitalism is normal (labor aristocrats and petite bourgeoisie), and a tiny minority of haute bourgeoisie who control the country and think that it’s funny and strange that anyone supports them.
