    The US is at a much higher and more developed form of Capitalism, also called “late-stage” Capitalism. This is a part of Capitalist development.

        I think it does. Capitalism at a higher stage is still Capitalism, even if some of the characteristics change.

          Does being a mafia state and an oligarchy under an authoritarian still qualify as capitalist?

          This is what I asked. Your answer has absolutely nothing to do with whether Russia is still capitalist despite being a fully captured authoritarian/oligarchy/kleptocracy.

            Russia is a Capitalist country, quite similar to the US in that regard. The fact that few people own the most doesn’t mean it isn’t a Capitalist economy driven by private ownership.
