And crazy to think that businesses care about a fair and impartial judiciary instead of a corrupt government that hands out punishments and pardons arbitrarily based on what kind of mood the president is in

Capitalism is a prerequisite of democracy...not possible to have democracy under serfdom.

Capitalism requires a stable government.

The reason capitalism started in the UK is because it quite suddenly became extremely stable under the Tudors, the most stable nation up to that point in history, everything was chaos beforehand.
