" In every capitalist economy there are anti-capitalist movements, activists, and even political parties; in a way, that there are no longer anti-democratic movements, activists, and parties. "
- Geoff Mulgan

In every capitalist economy, there are always groups and individuals who oppose capitalism and advocate for alternative economic systems or reforms within the existing framework. This includes movements, activists, and even political parties that challenge the prevailing capitalist ideology and push for change. On the other hand, democratic institutions seem to have a different kind of stability where opposition to democracy is rare or less visible.

The quote by Geoff Mulgan highlights a significant difference between economic systems and political systems within societies. While capitalism often faces continuous challenges from those advocating for alternatives such as socialism or communism, democratic systems appear more stable in this regard. The lack of anti-democratic movements suggests that the principles of democracy are widely accepted and embedded in society, making it harder for overt opposition to arise. This contrast underscores the distinct nature of economic versus political ideologies and how they manifest in public discourse.
