I think your definition of capitalism is a bit far-reaching.

  You can think whatever you want but riddle me this: In what other country do large businesses get to dictate the contents of government websites, in what country is the head of the environmental protection agency a lobbyist for the oil and coal industry? The effect of money in politics is tremendous and if not for the degree to which corporate profits dictate government policy through lobbying and outright corruption has no equal other than in the one country where 'the market' is given free rein to abuse the country to whatever degree they can get away with. I was all for harsh punishment of VW execs because of the diesel scandal, at the same time everybody was up in arms about that and this sort of thing gets a free pass without so much as a raised eyebrow.

    > In what other country do large businesses get to dictate the contents of government websites Australia does that one.
