Paralysis

Democracy without capitalism is communism. At the heart of communism is a wonderful idea. The idea of everyone being equal, the simple pure act of sharing is a beautiful thought. I don’t see why the ideal couldn’t come about if the masses stood as one instead of groups. The two parties that have operated, from their inception, from the guidance of others, have destroyed whatever democracy was first intended; its starry sky has passed like harvest moon. When the individual became more important than the masses democracy laid its head upon a stone and with its own hand swung the ax.
