    Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. Politics is the means by which capitalist policies and systems are created and maintained.

    The US political system could just as easily create and enforce (more) socialist systems and policies, but it doesn’t because it’s been captured by corporate and foreign interests.

      How is an economic system different from a political system? You’re making a pointless argument.

      “Why is capitalism not communism? Because it’s not communism”

      Why would foreign interests go against socialism? They are the same people as you, why would they be treated differently?
