Which is why the penalty for crack is more severe than coke and why poor black nieghbourhoods have been flooded with crack. Hence, the mass arrests & harassment that take place in these nieghbourhoods can easily be justified by TPTB.

So are you trying to claim the soviet union was all about same sex marriage, equality of all minorities & belief systems and the masses having total control in how there government was run?

First you claimed the progressive movement created communism, then in the next sentence claim they were also responsible for modern day corporate control. In other words, it seems to me that you can't even decide what progressivism actually is.

Firstly, there wouldn't be a bureaucracy in a true democracy. Plus, how can capitalism possibly not contradict democracy?

In a democratic system the people rule, but in a capitalists system the rich rule. A democratic capitalism may have balanced itself out before the corporation came along, but in the modern times, the democratic process has become a completely meaningless gesture, since the 1% rule the masses no matter what party you vote for.

We currently have a capitalist democracy and what's needed is a socialist democracy. Privately owned banks should be banned and should be made non for profit government run agencies, then the bureaucracy as a whole should be subjected to the democratic process, so the masses have total control over all government agencies.

Political parties should be banned, so your voting for the person and not the party and elected officials aren't obligated to follow the status quo of a political party. Corporate donations should also be banned.
It should also be highly illegal to base policies on christian morals and primitive "traditional" ideologies.
