Capitalism makes the rules of society more explicit and legible. Therefore, capitalism benefits people who benefit from the rules of society being explicit and legible, and harms those who benefit from the rules of society being opaque. Much follows from this.

True in all of capitalism's applications... until there is a government without authentic transparency... Then opaque influence becomes capital Much follows from this
That's true. The linguistic distinction between capitalism and crony capitalism is not a concrete barrier preventing the former from becoming the latter. Real solutions are needed for that, and I don't know what they are. No reason not to defend real capitalism though.

If you don't clearly distinguish between crony capitalism and capitalism people won't understand what you're talking about I.e. is America a capitalist country? There is only one solution governments must compete in an arena refereed by a classical liberal judge.

Any idea where we could find a group of governments that could operate independently? I'd say 50 or 60 governments would make the market competitive. If we can find that all we need is an authentic libertarian referee.

And just to be clear, that overarching power of the referee must not in any way be used to affect the people, it may only enforce ethical government action

No government other than self-government, the radical individuality provided by our intrinsic agency. Without a centralized system to manipulate, would-be cronies must produce real value for the market in order to survive. Free the market, free the world.

In order to have a free market, transparency must transcend to everyone, 100%. Our individualistic animal instincts prevent this from happening..we seek greater profit and influence through opacity. Gov role is to set the rules and referee this system like a bball game. 1/
