    No, capitalism is a component of the government. The point is to get the government out of twitter which records have shown the government was in twitter prior to Elon’s takeover.

          Can you explain what you mean using other words? I am not great with loose language in general.

            By stating that, it was a component of the government. In that context I was using component loosely.

                All governments have an economic system and each economic system is dependent on some level of government involvement.

                  Yes but those economic systems aren’t part of the gov, the gov is part of the economic system
