The same powers all capitalists use over forces of governing.

By this logic, regulatory captured is impossible because an industry is only capable of influencing under its sphere. Government being influenced by capitalism is a direct proof of capitalists influence outside of their sphere of control.

The power of the people is unity to force the wealthy to act.

    Above, I'm simply stating what the original comment considered impossible is not logically sound.
