Capitalism and Democracy are incompatible. You only have freedom of speech if you have no impact. And if you use your freedom of speech, it's just because you're volunteering to be put into your correct cohort. There are background processes that determine what jobs we get and the amount of money we make. That's why stupid people are in charge of things. There's no such thing as the free world when we live in a world of capitalism.
Actually, I think they are compatible...but in a VERY specific way. I believe that government should provide all basic necessities to people, such as food, shelter, healthcare, transport, gasoline, and so forth. Capitalism can be used for luxury items, such as fashionable clothing, bigger houses, flavored toothpaste, singing bass decorations, ect. In this way, money is used for lifestyle, rather than being a requirement for survival.
This effectively allows people to strike or protest at will, since the coercive power of government and corporations is much reduced. We get to keep the efficiency of capitalism, while keeping it from metastasizing into a cancer.
