      Meanwhile, capitalism not only reliably devolves into dictatorships of the wealthy, but also dictatorships of whichever caste or ethnic group manages to rise to political dominance.

      Or do you think the consistent and aggressive disenfranchisement of people of colour is just democracy in action or something?
