A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'd say no. It doesn't really describe how a political system works other than commenting on the regulation part.

Same as any other economic political system.

You're just describing a political system.

It is one policy of a larger system.

What do you mean by one policy?

Capitalism influences many areas of government directly.

It's not just economics. It's foreign policy, company regulations, individual protections, land ownership rights, etc. It's an ongoing list. Even cultural rights are directly impacted by Capitalism.

It is one policy of a larger system.

Right, it's an economic system that directly influences many parts of government.
