Bourgeois democracy is a means of setting up a capitalist economy in such a way as to settle disputes between the bourgeois without disrupting the overall power structure of the government. These governments tend to call themself democratic despite the fact that the control a citizen of these nations has over their government is minimal unless they are of the owning class. Bourgeois democracy does not benefit the majority of people and excludes the proletariat from power.[1]
