True Capitalism is Not Racist

Like most Canadians I live up against the American border, have relatives and clients in the States, work and socialize with Americans and am inundated with American media. It is no surprise that American political conversation affects Canadian philosophies and politics.

  

Because we actually admit to our Socialist institutions (schools, laws, roads, water management...) we are just slightly less liable to fall into false dichotomies, but only slightly.
  
It is time to start calling American Republican "Capitalism" by it's true name: Feudalism. This is why it is so comfortable for racists to be Republican; It is inherently tribal and elitist. It champions win-lose economic interactions and coercive social institutions.
  
The American Democrats advocate a Canadian style Capitalism- One which believes in removing barriers to participation in the marketplace, in creating an environment where win-win solutions thrive. 
  
This more modern style of Capitalism empowers individuals to express their own creative energy. It is the future.
