I'd say it's more like disguised feudalism. We're all peasants for the few kings and queens that have all the money at the top.

I don't think people actually agree on the definition of capitalism itself, I just looked it up and was a little surprised how definitive it is:

an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

If you asked whether capitalism is a political system, at least in my random polling, 2 out of 9 respondents said No.
