I don't remember saying it required lobbyists or that anything I said required it to be true but I can see why you had to stoop to pretending that I did. I would've struggled too.

WE can have it without them, as can be seen by the fact that we can't have capitalism without them. Maybe capitalism could hypothetically exist without them but not on this planet or with us as the species using it.

Can you show an example of a democracy that hasn't been utterly polluted by capitalism?

Also, love the copy paste, as if it proved anything here. Link your source or its just random BS you stuck > in front of. Also, also "actually, wealthy interests disenfranchising you of your vote and your democracy of validity is a good thing....." too funny.

Democracy in of itself is corrupt. It's why many nations don't want it and why Western powers have to bomb or coerce Democracy into other nations.

Let me be clear, I love Capitalism. I wish everyone in a Capitalist society would become wealthy from their hard work. I hate lobbyists and interests groups. And I hate governments who dk suck lobbyists for their personal gains rather than the prosperity of its citizens.

Representative democracy has its problems but that doesn't mean it can't and isn't further corrupted by capitalism.

Well, when the capitalist powers want something those counties have, they also install dictatorships and theocracies. In fact, capitalism doesn't care what system it is, it will corrupt and toxify them all.
