lobbying is just utilizing accumulated capital to create favorable conditions. that capital was accumulated by a capitalist firm. that firm's competitive strategy might be aesthetically unappealing to you, but the firm exists in the first place because it can more efficiently utilize resources than any individual could.

capitalism is a way of organizing production with workers being paid a flat rate and owners keeping all additional value added by the workers in exchange. is that not how pharmaceutical companies are arranged?
