Capitalism is an economic system with as little government intervention possible.

Doesn't the bolded part make it a political system then?

I'd say no. It doesn't really describe how a political system works other than commenting on the regulation part.

Same as any other economic political system.

You're just describing a political system.

It is one policy of a larger system.

What do you mean by one policy?

Capitalism influences many areas of government directly.

It's not just economics. It's foreign policy, company regulations, individual protections, land ownership rights, etc. It's an ongoing list. Even cultural rights are directly impacted by Capitalism.

It is one policy of a larger system.

Right, it's an economic system that directly influences many parts of government.
