Cities skylines is definitely a capitalist economy as you literally make your earnings by changing tax rate and the only thing you control insofar as unmodded goes is zoning and city services lmao

Its not capitalist, its a planned economy. Taxes can exist outside of capitalism

This just in: America not capitalist. You have exactly as much control as the average American town/city does in that game. Control of zoning and road development isn't a "planned economy" lmaoo. The entire game is based in and around a capitalistic society and the demand created by said society in your town for it to grow that's the whole reason for the demand bars.

You also don't really have to worry about satisfying the demands of huge multinational corporations. So it's pretty idealized, as though capital has no undue influence on state-level political decisions.
