Correct. Capitalism may be the source of the money, but that has no bearing on how the money is spent or what the money is spent on. Politics isn't capitalism in any way. If you think it is, go look up what capitalism actually is, please.
But if you make money a particular way, you're going to want to protect that way of making money from people whose political views threaten it.

So if that money is spent to gain more money, or capital, it isn't capitalism?

And the English language doesn't work the way you want it to.
