The **market society** (i.e., roughly **"one dollar – one vote"**) and the **democratic society** (i.e., **"one person – one vote"**) are in a direct and inverse relationship, engaged in a unity and struggle of opposites.
American political scientist **Benjamin Barber** (1939–2017) wrote: **"Capitalists can be democrats, but capitalism does not need or lead to democracy."**
And yet, under certain conditions, capitalism can become a defender of democracy.
We are witnessing how **the Market in the U.S. today is reacting as if stung, delivering a vote of total no-confidence in the Trump-Musk-Vance gang.**
At the same time, **democracy in the U.S. has deflated, quieted down, and fallen silent.**
I do not follow who says what on a daily basis, but **where are Obama and Biden, Clinton and Clinton? Where are the renowned democrats of various calibers and scales?**
**Why are their voices not heard?**
What kind of prominent politicians are they if, at a time like this, they are not speaking from every platform and every media outlet?
**Democracy in the U.S. is being assassinated, and American democrats remain silent.**
Apparently, that’s how democratic they really are...
And yet, **the Market is alive—it calculates attitudes and assessments, expectations and fears.**
Whatever one may say about the chaos of market forces, **the Market senses reality best**—it has tools for **early warning, it (intuitively) engages in strategic forecasting.**
And Democracy must reflect on this. **Because it cannot exist without the Market. But the Market can exist without Democracy.**
The Market seeks **Efficiency.**
Only through **Democracy** can **Justice** be achieved.
But if **Democracy has deflated, quieted down, and fallen silent**, the Market will find its own solution.
**The Market is currently defending Democracy. But it will not do so for long.**
Because, after all, **why would the Market need Democracy with democrats like these?**
