I think I agree with you, but your messaging could use some work. I feel like most people who aren't already in the same groups as you might struggle with the terms you use. It might be simpler to say "capitalism corrupts democracy" because my original read of the post made it seem like its anti democracy.
It's not really that capitalism "corrupts" democracy, it's that all states serve the ruling class, and the political formation reinforces that. Capitalist democracy is democracy for capitalists, dictatorship for workers. In a socialist state, the political power is held by the workers, it becomes democracy for the working class and dictatorship for capitalists, landlords, etc.
