i don't know if its fair to conflate an economic system with a political one

Politics and economics are virtually inseparable. There’s a reason the field of economics used to be called “political economy”.

Science and math are in practice virtually inseparable. Math can be studied independently of science, but science can't be studied independently of math. Similarly economics can be studied independently of politics, but good luck understanding politics without mentioning economics.
