"Politics (from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká) 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science."

Definitionally, anything that prescribes the way things are to be distributed is political. There has been a desensitization to the word politics with an ever present right using words loosely adjacent to their true meaning, but capitalism is inherently political. Now it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem with western democracies kinda being formed around it, but that doesn't make it any less true. I sincerely doubt anyone would argue communism or socialism aren't political because they are economic theories.
