Surveillance capitalism isn’t democracy

If capitalism puts the wealth of a nation into the hands of only 1% of its citizens, capitalism can’t be the economic system of a democracy. Please click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/FcADchWhwUk
The proof of that is the fact that 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are United States (US) citizens, while 40 million Americans live in poverty, and 201 million Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.
The People’s Republic of China, however, and whom the US claims is not a democracy, has eradicated poverty, despite having 4 times the US’ population. Moreover, over 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their government, while only 28% of Americans are satisfied with ours!
How could we be satisfied, when additionally, the US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans? In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned our national territory (gentrification), and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty.
While half of the Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico want Puerto Rico to be the 51st state of the Union, the US has consistently ignored them. The US, however, has recently offered Canada to be the 51st state of the Union, which she has never asked for or want. Why didn’t the US offer statehood to Mexico instead, and, in that way, solve its border crossing problem at the same time? Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, of course, do not fit into the US’ long-standing doctrine of Maintain America White Forever!
Capitalism is imperialism.
