If capitalism itself is the reason for not being able to pass good regulation, then what would you call that ?
A lack of regulation.
We are living in a world where corporations are people and it’s ok to lobby
Corporate personhood is not the same thing as "corporations are people". Lobbying wouldn't inherently be an issue with an education and caring voting population.

Call it "corporate personhood" if you want, the practical effect I am talking about is corporations being protected as speakers in elections.

So yes, education helps, but “just have better voters” doesn’t remove the structural advantage of concentrated money and full-time influence operations (lobbying).
