I would say this actually IS a politics problem, just not the simple "right vs left" issue that everyone assumes "politics" means these days.
"What to do about late-stage capitalism?" is actually an explicitly political question.
"What to do about late-stage capitalism?" is actually an explicitly political question.
Ultimately we need to decide how we want to run our country.
Do we want to be run by mega corporations manufacturing consent through the media with vapid bimbo politicians providing a rubber stamp or do we want to take back the power for the masses of private citizens and elect effective politicians who will answer to voters who want not to be dependent on the will of megacorps for their every need.
Its also an explicitly political (in the “ideologically partisan” not merely “concerning government”) framing of the question, that makes ideologically-based assumptions about reality, the current situation, and the answer to the question. (If the answer was something within the scope of “capitalism”, the thing being addressed would not be “late-stage capitalism”.)
Heck, even the presumption that the thing described is something that calls for something to be done about it is ideological.
I'm unabashedly on the "we must do something about late-stage capitalism, a thing that exists" political team, but you're absolutely not wrong that this is a political viewpoint, explicitly.
