    If by all powerful party you mean socialism then this is not correct.

    No sane person should expect a single party with absolute rule to represent the people properly, which is exactly why current socialist states don’t do this. Socialist states utilise policies that ensure the working class maintain power over the govenment. And the state must own the majority of companies instead of the capitalist class to ensure the capitalist class doesn’t have power over the state.

    Edit: Oh literally the meme states “dictatorship of the proletariat” and here I am explaining dictatorship of the proletariat. Do you understand what it means?

    There is no such thing as a representive democracy in capitalism. Power is not spread equally amungst each voter, your power is based off how much wealth you have. The rich class own corporate media and can shape peoples views and opinions to be comfortable with their rule. Political parties are completely reliant on funding from the rich to drive there campaigns, elected candiates are always approved by the rich class.

    The market does not represent the interests of the people. Capitalism results in unregulated monopolies or price fixing that cause companies to extract significantly more wealth from people than what is reasonable.
