If you want to build a socialistic / communist any other sytem within a dominant capitalistic system you are free to do so . Why cant you start by motivating a group of 10 and then 100 and then 1000 poor people and try your system which will benifit all . You can start a small ecosystem within the larger system based on your value system and if people like it will grow naturally . Democarcy is the natural form of governance it is like extrapolating what people want to be as indiviaduals (Free willing )to a larger scale . Dictatorship is not natural as it means bondage .

Corruption in campaign spending emerges from the need for spending money at all to canvass votes. Why not just go out there and ask people to vote on the basis of what you stand for (if not what you’ve already done for them and desirous of doing)? Democracy has gained undeserved support from the popular belief that the alternative is dictatorship by someone like Hitler, Stalin or Saddam Hussein. One way to get out of this impasse is to realize that it is a matter of degree, let it go and see what else will work. Fear of letting go of democracy is only for people that have something seriously to lose, say the top 5% that own 90% of nation's wealth. Others are simply survivors and they should try an alternative to see where we are headed. Something different, if not better will certainly emerge changing the ugly pecking order that is the status quo. It’s time we take a hard look at that outrageously overrated concept of Democracy.
