> People seem to forget that democracies are supposed to be for the people. Not for corporations. Not for those in power. Not for the wealthy.

That's what we are told. But if you look at actual history of democracy and how it came about ( ancient greek or american democracy ), you know that simply isn't true.

The ancient greek democracy was created by the slave owning master class to protect and preserve their property and rights. In the US, our democracy was created by the wealthy white landowners to protect their property and rights.

The two quintessential democracies in the world were created by the wealthy for the wealthy, not by the people for the people. But it's great advertising.
