Again that is not really solving the problem by getting rid of capitalism, that's solving the problem by empowering democracy. The market system would still be capitalism even if lobbying were banned and fines were proportional.

Being in a capitalist society, we don't value a sustainable way of life.

Democracy has nothing to do with it. The lack of regulation is not a fault of democracy, as most citizens don't want these businesses to be regulated.

If democracy has nothing to do with your ideal governance, then congratulations you're a fascist/authoritarian.

Who said anything about ideal governance?
