If you oppose top-down structures, then why do you support Capitalism over Communism?

    I support democracy and oppose authoritarianism. Capitalism needs better regulations today, but I don't believe that the government controlling all business would lead to anything besides more authoritarianism.

    Why? Capitalism can't be democratic.

    No it can't because it's not a form of government, it's just an economic system. Communism is both a type of government and an economic system. That means concentrated power.

    Capitalism has liberal democracy.

    Are you saying that because Workers have absolutely no economic control in Capitalism, it's more democratic than when they do? Are you genuinely making that argument?
