Hello?

Capitalism is by it's very nature imperialistic. Why make an empire in name when you can make one with the facade of democracy? In a capitalist representative democracy, anyone with power can be bought and thus made to make policy the way the rich (patricians) want it.

That's why I think that political democracy requires economic democracy and just as political democracy requires political equality, economic democracy requires economic equality.

A person having money is usually the greatest indicator that they have never had money and should never have power.

Most of them are and almost no one with money worked hard. If you have money that means you got rich by selling the products of other people's labour and if you don't have money that means you worked hard and someone else made al the money.

No, working hard means physical labour. Plenty of proletarians are smart but their social class doesn't allow them to use it to rise. And just because some one is naturally unwitty doesn't mean they should be made to toil all their life.
