        Does being a mafia state and an oligarchy under an authoritarian still qualify as capitalist?

        This is what I asked. Your answer has absolutely nothing to do with whether Russia is still capitalist despite being a fully captured authoritarian/oligarchy/kleptocracy.

          Russia is a Capitalist country, quite similar to the US in that regard. The fact that few people own the most doesn’t mean it isn’t a Capitalist economy driven by private ownership.
