I don't understand your second sentence. Government currently allows some pollution. Should government disallow all pollution?

OP is saying that government allow a certain amount of pollution. A government could decide to forbid pollution altogether (whatever that means) and still maintain a capitalistic economic system.

We have generally forbidden dumping barrels of spent oil in rivers, for example.

Likewise, a non-capitalistic system can forbid or not pollution.

To the extent it owns land, yes.
