I think you're being a bit black-and-white about this - attempts to make me use my capital as I do not wish
include socialism, communism, dictatorship, totalitarianism, tithe, taxation...

In fact democracy, certainly as it is practised, can do so as well.  When the majority wants something to
happen that needs me to contribute some of my capital, I have to do so even if I don't want to!
