Democratic mechanisms are not delivering to people the change that they both desperately want as the structures of democracy are predicated on individual rights and self-centered motivations, and not on community structures or customary rights. We can no longer separate the responsibility of democracy from our rights over how and what we consume or how we engage in markets. Democracy becomes nothing more than feed in the trough of capitalism.
Capitalism is not democracy. When we put free-market capitalism before democracy, the gravity of consumption and wealth accumulation displaces the commons, the public ownership and public responsibility and hides it in the hands of corporations with only the most minimal standard of accountability.
