This implies that any capitalist society is compatible with democracy, as in, “the will of the masses controls society”

Correct.

Capitalism is an economic system, while democracy is a political system.

To repeat myself a bit, my argument is that capitalism can’t exist without collective agreements on legislation, enforcement, and adjudication, along with strong protections for an individual’s rights.

In the United States, we technically have a democratically-elected representative federal republic (on paper). This is one of many political systems where capitalism can exist, if we’re defining it strictly, as I’d mentioned above.

And to be absolutely clear:

If you believe that supposed self-described “socialists”, “communists”, “leftists”, and other “cHaMpIoNs Of tHe PeOpLe” have never been or are incapable of being genocidal maniacs, please promptly fuck your own face with your tankie butt-plug and jump off the nearest cliff.

I will never entertain any authoritarian of whatever economic stripe or their apologists for even a nanosecond.

No, you know what’s an insult? “Traditional” Dutch “cuisine”. It’s no wonder you chucklefucks smother your fries in Mayo. Look at how you “season” your food! I bet you think water is too spicy.

And their “food” still sucks. 🤣

I’ve lived in the Netherlands since July 2022. From what I’ve witnessed, it’s a few picograms of salt and phlegm when you people pronounce the letter “G”.

Yeah. That’s why I mentioned it’s a few picograms of it. Any more, and the lot of you will have a heat stroke.

Psh. Tzeentch says otherwise.

Unfortunately not. But it should, though.
