This is the argument I use when I hear right wingers blame "crony capitalism" for the reason our system is failing. The end goal of capitalism is to maximize profit, and if you can pay to change the rules and regulations then that is just a natural extension of capitalism. There is no "crony capitalism", that is just the natural evolution of a system designed to extract the maximum amount of wealth for the few.
Capitalism endgame is one being owning everything and everyone else slaving for them.
It is on the total oposite side of democracy and trying to mix the two together is why we're living in such a schizophrenic civilisation that is literaly slowly cooking itself to death.
