Capitalism is NOT Democratic: Democracy is NOT Capitalist

Actually in a capitalist society, we have public ownership....anyone can by a share of any publicly traded company. Try again.
How much "ownership" does that share provide in a one-share-one vote system compared to a one-person one-vote democracy?

What is Democratic Socialism? - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

"Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit.

"We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society."

one share buys you one vote…just like in a democracatic govt, one citizen (with age requirements) gets one vote.

however you can buy more shares and get more votes
 
Private wealth which has the power to control government has the power to force you to do what you don't want to do.
Yes. We need a constitutional "wall of separation" between economic and state power. The more we combine them, the worse things get.
 
Your previous definition was sufficient.

I don't want government to "run" society. Nor the economy. What you're advocating is totalitarian government. One where every goddamned thing is subject to your precious majority rule.
Majority rule works well for a homogenous society which of course does not exist in the US, dissimilar cultures, religions, races, education, and economic status. I think we need leaders less concerned with winning over the majority and more concerned with solving the nations problems even thou it is not what the majority might want.

The founders believe those that followed them would be reasonable people willing to work together for the good of the nation. That does not exist today.

Majority rule never works well.

The Marxist Perspective on Crime

"Capitalism is Criminogenic

"Many Marxists see crime as a natural ‘outgrowth’ of the capitalist system. The Capitalist system can be said to be criminogenic in three major ways –

  1. "Capitalism encourages individuals to pursue self-interest rather than public duty
  2. Capitalism encourages individuals to be materialistic consumers, making us aspire to an unrealistic and often unattainable lifestyle.
  3. Capitalism in its wake generates massive inequality and poverty, conditions which are correlated with higher crime rates."
