Really? Can you point to a democracy that has done much of note that doesn’t have an economic system based on free market capitalism?

*points to a bombed-out shell of a city*

*points to a council massacred by some suspiciously well-armed drug gangs*

*points to a nation that has survived centuries of economic siege*

For some reason, wealthy liberal democracies get kind of angry whenever you try something other than strictly regulated neocolonial capitalism.
