Is there even a government under true capitalism or is it more like the lunar anarchy described in „the moon is a harsh mistress“?

Where does capitalism mandate corruption? Yes, it is not realistic to assume there is no corruption, but capitalism in and by itself does not mandate corruption.

Obviously this all falls apart when capitalism can buy legislation. We are seeing how the USA is currently eroded by a few oligarchs.
