On the development of a democratic society in the past time to talk a lot.Often the example of the triumph of the democratic thoughts lead the United States.But is it.England and then the United States have developed along the capitalist path of development.Referring to the concept of encyclopedic capitalism.Capitalism - an economic system of production and distribution, based on private property, general legal equality and freedom of entrepreneurship.The main criterion for economic decision-making is the desire to increase the capital to make a profit.Capitalism is first of all an economic system.But can a democratic state to have a capitalist economic system?
democracy - the kind of political structure of the state in which the people exercise the legislative and executive functions of government directly (direct democracy) or through their representatives (representative democracy).
When democratic society people are the main power.This is in contradiction with the main goal of capitalism profit.With an increase in capital.And as the rules of social capital accumulation have not all members of society.Consequently happen division of society into classes.The main determining factor of belonging to a particular class will be the amount of capital.As a rule the concentration of capital in limited circles leads to oligarchy.Following the main goal of capitalism profit and the capital increase to become the overriding goal, in comparison with the interests of the state.As a rule financially independent of the state members of the society have great potential for self-realization, etc.The result is that more financially well-off members of society will have a great influence in society.This situation is contrary to the idea of developing a democratic society where, by definition, every member of society has equal rights and equal opportunities.Based on the above it is contrary to the economy of the capitalist system is the very idea of democracy.In the United States have failed to realize the idea of democracy.US is a type of capitalist democracy.Capitalist democracy - is a form of government of the state, when the availability of capital determines the degree of influence on the society itself and the state as a whole.So, that capitalism can not be a companion of democracy.For the development of democracy should take into account several forms of economic development.The socialist system of economy with private ownership.For the development of the modern type of democracy is unacceptable presence of all the natural resources of the state to private ownership.In any industry the government should have the final say.(Joint-stock system, provided that the state in the presence of 51% of shares).From socialism must adopt an equal support of all citizens, both in services and opportunities for self-realization.In a modern democratic society, money had to be a distinction on the basis of the presence and amount of capital.The development of democracy can come to this understanding as a modern social democracy.It is this kind of democracy, where people not only have the right to authorities, but, as has an equal opportunity, regardless of financial status.And they are protected in all aspects of social programs and social institutions.The work of all democratic societies should focus primarily on the person as a person.Focusing greatest influence in the face of the state is fully consistent with the concept of democracy as a whole.After all, democracy is characterized by the system state-nation.Where one can not exist without the other and both have equal rights and opportunities and mutual responsibility to one another.So that when capitalism can not be a companion of democracy.
