Is democracy even possible under capitalism?

Do you think a democracy is even possible under capitalism? Capitalists often claim to be more "free" than socialists countries and say capitalism leads to democracy but I think not, here's why

Since capital can easily buy power (through political campaign funding, advertising and just pure bribery) why would a billionaire ever allow any law against him to pass or even be put against the elite class? He could just buy off politicians. Why would the elites push for education of the masses? Since education often favour leftist thinking which is a known phenomenon. The capitalist oligarchs can/do just control the hate of the masses so and put the blame on minorities instead or foreign powers or leftist ideologies and it works, which is so obviously visible in any modern day example

Socialism, atheism and democracy

How many of you all are leftist/socialist here? Anyways here's something I wanted to talk about

Do you think a true democracy is possible under capitalism? I think not, here's why

People often claim "democracy is dead" but was it truly ever even there? Think about it, since capital can easily buy power (through political campaign funding, advertising and Even pure bribery) why would a billionaire ever allow any law against him to pass or even be put against the elite class? He could just buy off politicians. Why would the elites push for education of the masses? Since education often favour leftist thinking which is a known phenomenon.

The right wing so often dismantles western thinking yet they fall for the same anti socialism western propaganda which is almost humourous.

I wanna know why the Indian right wing is so against socialist thinking but then the answer becomes so obvious when you spend a minute thinking about it, the capitalist oligarchs know how to control the hate of the masses and they just shift the blame to minorities instead and the RW thinks the left is "Islamist" which again is so funny since communist thinking rejects religion outright and is fundamentally an atheistic system

Give me some intellectual debate against socialism
