Those are some great definitions but that doesn't change the fact that literally anyone can find someone that disagrees with these positions. Forcing them on people will not get the reaction you want. That right there throws out any thought of regulatory capture being the sole thing at play. It can hardly be considered a plutocracy when a good portion of the populous agrees with it.

Even if that is the complete reality, very few people agree with you and antidemocratic actions will result in a massive backlash.

People agree with Hitler, doesn't make them right, or worth listening to, nor does it make them willing to compromise, some people need to be forced to relinquish their incorrect and harmful opinions through violence and death.

You're relying on the wilfully ignorant and belligerent to go against their nature, and that's a level of stupidity so divorced from reality that you're effectively no different than them.

You'll sit here and argue that you're right till you're blue in the face but you'll still never change anything.
