The fact that the nominal government isn't the de facto government of every part of the country doesn't mean that unregulated capitalism rules.

(Of course, unregulated capitalism is an oxymoron; capitalism involves active government intervention to enforce a very specific model of property rights; it is a particular application of regulation, not it's absence.)
