Another feature is the holy text: Bible, Mein Kampf, Das Kapital,
Koran. Again, no such text exists for capitalism or democracy.
What about Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations"? That's clearly a
holy text of capitalism. And Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy In
America"...
Well most capitalists probably haven't heard of Adam Smith and it
doesn't stop them doing business, and most people who vote in a
democracy haven't heard of de Tocqueville.
Every Christian knows of the Bible, every Nazi of Mein Kampf, every
Maoist of The Little Red Book...
I think the difference is sufficiently clear cut.
