I have asked this fundamental question, since we have frequently come across it in the discussions about the RC phase shift, RC oscillations and Barkhausen criterion:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_is_there_a_phase_shift_in_RC_circuits_How_do_we_make_it_exactly_90_degrees

https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_do_sinusoidal_oscillations_arise_in_RC_oscillators

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_the_Barkhausen_criterion_about_the_loop_gain_right_in_the_case_of_the_Wien_bridge_oscillator1

In my opinion, both the AC and DC current can flow through a capacitor, but this is just an illusion that can be explained in a more general (nonelectrical) way.
