It was my understanding that pure capitalism basically operates in a governmental vacuum, with no interference whatsoever. My economics teacher my freshman year was a raging capitalist just like most economics teachers I know of here in the US.
Governments can step in and make the necessary rules to prevent corporatism, and then the corporations that do make it buy politicians and you get corporatism again. With no government interference, it just skips the bribery (or rather lobbyists, same diff) phase.
