i was speaking fairly generally about an array of fairly complex things, but more simply and precisely - capitalism may drive much of our society and much of our government is captures by capital.
But the democratic system isn't bent 100% to their will. Mostly, but not entirely. Sometimes capital is restrained by that system, sometimes the illusion that it's restrained must be maintained as they hide behind a wall of bureaucracy
you're not tearing down capital without tearing down the state that enables it - the same state that keeps it at bay.
you take off the safeties, and the influence of money to control becomes even more unfettered and uncontrolled.
if you "tear the system down", it's not like the power money has will just go away. you'll end up in a more of an AnCap scenario than some left wing dream of anarcho-communism.
Think..Somalia but with a lot more monied powers at play
