You don’t have to look outside the country in order to find organizations, institutions and corporations that want to break down democracy.
Big business, corporations and the wealthy elite are all about conservative ideals, wealth at all costs, fighting social supports, and creating a supposed world of the ‘strongest surviving better than the weakest’.
