"You are so right: Capitalism is not an “ism”, it requres a democratic form of government to function."

Why? Wherefrom does this follow?

[upcountryhorseman]

Because capitalism does not have a social component. It
functions in the economic sphere, however it needs a free
and unfettered economy to function. That’s where a democratic form of government comes in. Socialism, on the
other hand, is all encompassing: it mandates a government
controlled social structure and government controlled economy.
