Capitalization doesn't make any sense for that term, but other than that, sure. It's a lot less meaningful, though, since most spies operate on behalf of governments and capitalism is an economic system, not a political one, whereas communism refers to both.

Says anyone that's not a communist or communist sympathizer.
I'm not sure why you're asking irrelevant questions.

Why yes, indeed there is.

ETA: And if you really want to get into the realm of the bizarre, China's economic capitalist restoration is being driven by the communist political party - resulting in a situation where a spy who stole technology for profit, which also strengthened the state, would simultaneously be a capitalist and a communist spy.
ETA 2: Of course, to add another wrinkle, one could argue that as the capitalist restoration continues but social strictures on freedom remain, that China's version of communism may now bear (or will bear) more closely a resemblance to fascism than communism.
So technically, I suppose it's possible for somebody to be a capitalist fascist communist spy?
This is getting weird now, so I'm going to stop.

You're a Ron Paul supporter, correct? I think there is a >85% chance you think the Kennedy assasination was a conspiracy. Because Ron Paul supporters sure do love a conspiracy theory, evidence be damned! And hey, you asked me to provide evidence, I'm gathering it now.
