I don't know that I understand the "under capitalism" distinction here.
Like, I get that the point is that capital is influential, skewing the vote in favor of those who have it.
I just think that even in non-capitalistic systems there will invariably be some other proxy token for power that will be equally influential.
I don't think the problem outlined is one that is fixed under any system.
I like this comment. I'm getting so tired of the "my team good, your team bad" posts I'm seeing all over here. It's like both sides refuse to see issue in their way of living and get off on hating on the group that has been designated as "them".
Making uppity remarks so that their echo chambers can go "LOL TRU" doesn't aid the discussion or allow them to learn from other view points.
