        Why would I do that? How is lobbying the thing that makes a system more corrupt than examples of other systems attempted like a communist dictatorship or an Anarchy where the guy with the most guns gets to fuck everybody’s wife and daughter?

        Capitalism doesn’t require lobbying to be legal in the first place. Capitalism refers to a system of production and distribution of goods with hard requirements of currency, private property, and competition.
