Capitalism, Democracy, Plutocracy

The common interchangeability of the terms 'Capitalism' and 'Democracy' tends to ignore that the concept of the latter entails Equality, but that of the former does not.  Now, implicit in the identity is that of an Economic system and a Political one.  Furthermore, there is only one Political system the ideal of which is unequivocally an Economic Good--Plutocracy.  Thus, the prevalence of that interchangeability is an implicit expression of Plutocratic influence.  The classifications of a corporation as a 'Person', and spending money as 'Freedom of Speech', are explicit ones.
