    The so-called USA is the only state I know that has PACs and it’s by far not the only where capital manipulates politics.

    You can’t “get money out of politics” in a capitalist system.

          Every system is a capitalist system, but the USA is the only one with PACs, but you can’t get money out of politics in a capitalist system.

              You said the USA is the only one with [Specific Type of Corruption] because other countries removed [Specific Type of Corruption] but you said cannot remove a [Specific Type of Corruption] in a country which is in a [System that Encompasses Every Country].

              You’re saying the thing that doesn’t exist elsewhere has to exist everywhere.

                I never said anything about other contries removing said corruption.

                but you said cannot remove a [Specific Type of Corruption] in a country which is in a [System that Encompasses Every Country].

                No, I said that you can’t remove corruption in a capitalist system.

                You’re saying the thing that doesn’t exist elsewhere has to exist everywhere.

                That’s a weird way of putting it, but yeah: Capitalism has to go, if you want to eradicate corruption. (Or a surviving biosphere, for that matter)
