Corporations being in control of a nation is the ultimate goal of capitalism. So I think I will call the U.S. a capitalistic society. One which has come very close to reaching that goal.
Nope, not true. Capitalism in its base is just the fact you are free to exchange with others.
Businesses should not be allowed human rights. And especially not to influence politics (even if through third and such parties like lobbyists and superpacs)
You're wrong, and you don't know you're wrong.
If you care at all that you might be wrong, you would read David Graeber's "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" and learn more about this.
But you won't, because this is the Internet.
My take away from that book is that we should fight the oligarchy to demand the re establishment of a Jubilee.
