Ake:

You are mistaken, sir. He has been elected as the leader of the United States.

That leadership governs some aspect of the lives of millions of people, many of whom are not capitalists except by reason of holding mortgages and working for companies which, in turn, depend on capital for their day-to-day operations.

Those who have an influence in the operation of your fantastic generality "Western Capitaslism", in turn, comprise hundreds of thousands of people each of whom makes their own decisions, exerts their own pressures, and has their own hopes for the future.

In short, your simplistic pigeonholing is far too narrow, shallow and abstract to impart any meaning.
