If you look at where the actual political power lies in (say) the United States, it's clear that capitalism is both a form of government and an economic system too.
- theli0nheart 10y agoUntil we create a form of government where money and politics can't mix, a country's economic system and form of government will always be complementary.
- ue_ 10y agoMoney is not required for an economic system; furthermore, Communism is by definition moneyless.
- theli0nheart 10y agoMy point stands. It doesn't matter if you're bribing someone with seashells or hundred dollar bills: it's still a bribe. Corruption can exist in any form of government. Just because a form of government might be moneyless doesn't mean that you can't exert influence with power or wealth.
