I think that’s the point of this meme. You can’t be a fan of democracy and support the continued existence of capitalism, because capitalism at its core is undemocratic. In a democracy you elect a leader to represent you and your interest. Your leader is supposed to serve you. If you work in a capitalist company you do not get to elect a CEO because the CEO isn’t there to serve you. You’re supposed to serve the CEO.
In a democracy your leader serves you, in a capitalist company you serve the leader. They’re completely opposite power structures. How can you be “democracy for everyone, except for the workers because they need to serve their corporate overlords”? It’s contradictory.
This is not a contradiction pointed out in schools. You’re expected to just double think your way through it. We believe in freedom, but also your boss has much control over when you eat, sleep, wear, and shit.
Democracy fan =/= capitalist
