crapitalism

quick-and-dirty uber-profits for the filthy stinking rich - and total crap for all the rest of us.
Here in the USA crapitalism has caused the world's largest gap between the super-rich lifestyles of the those at the top, and the steadily degenerating living conditions of the vast majority, while landfills continue to overfill with the broken, poorly-made junk that constitutes the "affordable" products for the masses.

Anarcho-Capitalism

An oxymoron and an invalid theory. Anarchy is anti-hierarchical, while Capitalism is designed around an economic hierarchy - company owners and company workers as separate classes.

Anarcho-capitalism is invalid for several main reasons:
★ Capital requires a government to issue it and tax it to create demand, and give value to the currency.

★ Anarchy is anti-hierarchy, while capitalism is an economic system designed to sustain a hierarchy.

★ Without government to lower the powers a company has over it’s workers, the companies become the new governments, so to speak. Companies replace the state, therefore “anarcho”-capitalism is not anarchic.
Person 1: I support anarcho-capitalism because I don’t want the government limiting my freedom.

Person 2: Without a government to limit the power of corporations, how do you keep companies from limiting your freedom?

Person 3: Well, we haven’t figured that part out yet.

welfare capitalists

Basically every one in Washington. They give money to people who cannot work because they would rather sit at home. What they should do is use the money and use it to fix roads, thus creating jobs. They also could stop handing out money to the corporate America for doing nothing but hurting America by keeping all the money to themselves.
Washington is a bunch of Welfare Capitalists

Anarcho Capitalism/Free Market Anarchism

Free market anarchism or Anarcho capitalism is an umbrella term for a number of ideologies which believe that there should be no government, and a free market economic system, as opposed to anarcho socialism, anarcho communism, and anarcho syndicalism which focus on shifting ownership of property, companies etc. to the masses. Anarcho socialist types believe "Property is theft" while anarcho capitalists believe "property is freedom". Anarcho capitalists believe that a free market is the only truly anarchist economic system. The concept was popularized by Murray Rothbard of the Austrian School of Economics.

Woke Capitalism

An arrogant, pretentious and self-righteous approach to critical social issues that immediately vaporizes when doing so conflicts with your financial interests.
"Yes, we all do have freedom of speech, but at times there are negative financial ramifications that can happen when you're not thinking about other people’s wallets and you're only thinking about yourself."

“Yah, that dude wasn't edumacated on the situation at hand and it cost me some serious bank.”
“He apparently didn’t get the memo on woke capitalism.”
