capitalism

1. A politico-economic system in which the owners of the most capital (means of production) use the government to steal the private property of the masses (often in the name of private property) via such measures as eminent domain, self-serving regulation, confiscatory taxation, inflationary spending, corporate bailouts, "too big to fail" doctrines, etc., in order to maintain their own position at the top of the wealth hierarchy.
2. A misnomer for the system combining social cooperation in the division of labor with respect for the private property of all, big and small. Properly called the free market.

Capitalist

Freedom to sell your company, or large amount of stocks to Communist Party of China (CPC).
Freedom to serve only Communist (Majority Chinese) , and to Communist's interest only.
After that, (CPC) owns one extra big company, just like how Communism works
Capitalism = Communism, Galaxy Brain Play
Under the temptation of CPC's golden dick, many capitalist companies in America sold theirs to CPC. Giving up their democracy values, limiting the freedom of speech of every customers, and agreeing to China's brutal murder of their people who oppose with CPC. What a joke.

Cuddle capitalism

We're selling you stuff to make you feel better about yourself and we care so we want you to be healthy. Sometimes the company doesn't care, they just pretend to, to increase sales.
Hmm I've noticed rather a lot of the adverts these days feature farmers, twittering birds and lots of waffling on about provenance...talk about cuddle capitalism overload.
