How so?

[/ QUOTE ]

The state and capitalists are constantly interacting to screw everyone else. Both are based on hierarchy and power. For example, the state subsidizes business and works to destroy up and coming competitors, through not only subsidies but regulations that keep others out of the market. Capitalist companies have tons of lobbyists to try to bribe the state into giving them favoritism.

Pure capitalism doesn't have any government intervention of any kind. You are describing what happens in system such as mercantilism, or corporate capitalism.
