Capitalism vs Democracy

Who actually won in Nepal? The people or the status quo?

Ultimatly all around the world it is turning out to be a battle between capitalism and democracy. The battle began after the two knocked communism out together.

You could have seen it in India with BJPs India shining campaign, BJPs downfall, Congress's rise, Stock market's crash and then an economist at the helm of affairs.

We have seen it in Venezuela. And more recently we saw it in Nepal and UAE. Just when China is becoming the new hub of capitalism, the battle is getting more and more intense. Capitalism with conservatism, neoconservatism, and interest groups is trying to eliminate the hurdles that democracy causes in its way. The battle has divided the West for West's ideals of freedom, democracy, human rights and social responsibility are not letting capitalism its way, the way it wants to. So the capitalism has chosen new hubs. Hubs like India, China and South America. The hubs where economic conditions and lack of Western values of humanity, human rights, democracy etc are not that strong.

This has divided the West. The conservatives want to retain capitalism by compromising social responsibility. Liberals (the true ones) want to take the system head on. No wonder the strongest resentment against capitalism and Current World Economic Order is emerging from West. Who will succeed and how will it effect the world? This is the question we all need to answer before taking sides in this conflict where China is capitalist and Europe is socialist and where religious fundamentalists (of all religions) are trying to preserve a system that is based on capital.
