Get the Capitalism mug.An unsustainable system in which the Western 'Democracies' live under that are in the last throes of extinction using outdated unworkable methods of energy supply, natural resources exploitation and rigged-markets with fiat currencies pretending to be a free-market. The most unproductive of society 'make' the most money and those people that create real wealth, known as the working-poor are delegated to greater levels of debt. Thieving international Banksters are given the greatest rewards under a system of Crapitalism.
Crapitalism's educational systems are exclusive by being prohibitively expensive to keep brain-dead middle classes in work via their network of kakistocracy. Education is an almost useless and financially non-viable endeavour for entering the workforce to the lower classes, without a network of wealthy and well-connected cronies to hand them jobs and therefore becomes systemically pointless. Education becomes a right of passage to those that can afford it, but they are not actually qualified and are therefore unfit to make Capitalism function.
Crapitalistic ideas are kept alive by a monopolistic media which creates unbelievable propaganda to further this Zombie System, it only looks alive to the equally brain-dead supporters Sheeple of this Crapitalistic system as they are also robbed under the guise of a GFC which they cannot recognise as a Depression leading to the eventual total systemic collapse of Crapitalism and their own downfall.

I no longer recognise the system which we live under, it's a total mish-mash of lies, cheating, stealing and the rule of law has just become a joke. This is total Crapitalism.
I work 70 hours a week earning an average wage and living a very modest lifestyle and I still can't make ends meets. This has just become a bunch of Crapitalism.
We still rely on fossil fuels and and deadly nuclear power when solar power is the obvious answer, except under a system of Crapitalism.

We have reached late-stage capitalism. This is the era where businesses, investors and even the layperson will try everything they possibly can to capitalize on literally anything and every situation. The increasingly diverse stock industry and the booming crypto mining industry can be seen as one of the many aspects of late-stage capitalism. There is no single way to define late-stage capitalism, as the effects are most often seen on a micro scale and the scope is very broad as a result of the plethora of industries.
Some of the various examples of late-stage capitalism could include, but are not limited to: profiting off of your attractive physique, selling your personal data, selling your poop, dropshipping, house flipping, game companies making every single game pay-to-win, news corporations putting paywalls on their news sites, smartphone companies removing the headphone jack to save money, paying people to say positive affirmations, etc etc.
Essentially, it is capitalism but 10x more savage.

Thanks to the diverse range of markets, Jane was able to profit immensely from selling her bathwater, her used underwear, her poop, her sweat, her private browsing data, how many miles she walked, her emotions, her voice, and even her hair. Likewise, capitalists continue to venture into turning the most ordinary things into profitable commodities, while companies have lowered their standards to cut corners in every way possible to save money. This is late-stage capitalism in a nutshell.

Get the late-stage capitalism mug.An economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, in which personal bling can be acquired through investment of capital and employment of peeps. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of fo' real enterprise, which argues that the man's intervention in the economy should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand, will ultimately maximize consumer dough. These principles were most notably pwned in Adam Smith's treatise, The Wealth of Nations (1776), in which he opposed the prevailing theory of mercantilism. Capitalism has existed in a limited form in the economies of all hoods, but its modern importance dates at least from the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th century, when bankers, merchants, playas and industrialists (the bourgeoisie) began to displace landowners in political, economic, and social importance, particularly in Great Britain. Capitalism stresses freedom of individual economic enterprise; however, government action has been and is required to curb its playa-hating, which have ranged from slavery (particularly in Britain and the United States), haxors(In Diablo and CS servers), and apartheid (in South Africa) to monopoly cartels and financial fraud. Capitalism does not presuppose a specific form of social or political organization-type shit: the democratic socialism of the Scandinavian states, the consensus politics of Japan, and the state-sponsored rapid industrial growth of South Korea while under military pwnage all coexist with capitalism. Yet despite the capitalist ideal of “hands-off” government, significant government 1337ness has existed in most capitalist nations at least since the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the United States, it exists in the form of subsidies, tax credits, incentives, free hours of AOL, and other types of exemptions. Though private production plays a major role in the economies of Germany and Japan, both nations have centrally planned industrial policies in which bankers, industrialists, playas, pimps, hos and labor unions meet and seek to agree to wage policies and interest rates; these countries reject the idea of letting the bling wholly determine the economy. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its fugly states in Eastern Europe (1989-91) left those countries with a heavy burden, much shit, and an uncertain future, representing a substantial retreat in the power of capitalism's traditional economic opponent, socialism. Also uncertain is the future course of China's economy, in which small-scale capitalism is increasingly allowed within a strictly Communist political deal.

Get the Crapitalism mug.(POLICY) an extreme form of capitalism created in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. In some cases, as in Chile (1973), the disaster is a coup d'etat with the express purpose of imposing disaster capitalism. In other cases, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, it is a genuine natural disaster that literally kills.
After some disasters, the authorities in some countries may well respond by imposing "reforms" that would have been impossible before. These include: (1) privatization of public property, making it unavailable to the indigenous people; (2) arbitrary elimination of laws ("deregulation"); and (3) slashing democratically chosen programs that help ordinary citizens ("austerity programs").
The concept was popularized in Naomi Klein's excellent 2007 book, *The Shock Doctrine*.

"Disaster capitalism" is neoliberalism imposed undemocratically. It exploits natural disasters, civil wars, foreign invasions, coups d'etat, terrorism, or explicit deception. It always seeks to make its changes irreversible.
Naomi Klein mostly blames the International Monetary Fund, but there are other culprits as well.

Get the disaster capitalism mug.Use of political favor, force, or position to benefit a for-profit business, but calling it "free-market". Similar to "mercantilism" from Colonial times, where the success of a business depended on the power of The Crown. Use of "crapitalism" is meant to be disparaging, but can also be used to show the difference between actual free market enterprises and those that depend on government support.
Dude A: "Those big Wall Street banks makin' all that smack when I ain't got a job is why capitalism sucks." Dude B: "Da big bankers work in crapitalism. They'd be out of business if it wasn't for all that help they get from The Man."
