Anarcho-Capitalism

A misleading and oxymoronical term contrived by manipulative lassaiz-faire capitalists to draw uninformed, young, and rebellious youth into their ideology by applying the word "anarcho" to it.
Just because anarchism is actually about opposing ALL systems of hierarchy, it doesn't stop me from trying to use the word anarcho-capitalism to make me look hip and rebellious!

Commie-Capitalism

By 2017, Commie-Capitalism has become the entrenced, dominant political and economic system in China, Russia, Vietnam, Cuba and a few other countries who identify themselves as socialist republics or communist states. Economic growth via state-controlled capitalism is the primary feature of the dominant political/ecomonic class in these countries, not formal socialism or communism.

Quaint Capitalism

(Noun)
A capitalist theory which opposes economic domination by large corporations in favor of small-scale, generally local businesses, thus leaving most economic activity to the petite bourgeoisie.

Businesses operating on this theory are often characterized by a kitschy, cozy aesthetic, cheugy merchandise, and a strong pride in being small local businesses.
Allison prefers quaint capitalism over corporatism, so she shops at her local farmers' market instead of the grocery store.

State capitalism

“State capitalism” is a term that’s been used for over 100 years by economists and others to describe a system where the state employs the workers, pays their wages, sells what’s produced to make profits etc (instead of private employers doing this). Many people don’t know that what came about it Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea etc was state capitalism, and was never socialism or communism (i.e. a society where the people collectively own and control the means of production). In fact, the class-free, state-free, money-free socialism/communism that Marx and Engels wanted and wrote about, has not yet begun.
Those people who ludicrously think Russia had socialism or communism should read a history book about Lenin, then they would realise that he repeatedly said he wanted "state capitalism" for Russia and he said that it would be "a great success".
