> capital's corruption of the political system

Capital is a measure of power. Capital's "corruption of the political system" is use of that power. I'm not sure it's coherent to conceive a world where Capital retains its power but not use it to shape the people and instruments that manage society.

Money in politics isn't a homogeneous threat in every country, so its power can very well be contained. So its power isn't an inevitability at all.
