The leftist niece: Uncle, there’s never been a communist country, the closest we’ve gotten is socialism. And China is very capitalist

(Civilian) Social Commandeering (AKA Social Hijacking)
A phenomenon where individuals, under the guise of social righteousness, attempt to seize control of someone's work, career, or reputation. These groups believe their moral or social agendas should take precedence and use social pressure to enforce this belief. On the internet, they often target artists, podcasters, or other creators, demanding that they endorse specific agendas or censor certain content. This practice forces creators to speak with a voice other than their own, undermining their original goals and leading to severe repercussions, such as public shaming or career damage, if resisted. This can be seen as a form of reverse 'Virtue Signaling,' where the pressure to conform is imposed externally rather than expressed personally.

"After releasing a new virtual art exhibition, the host faced Social Commandeering when a vocal group demanded the removal of an artist they found controversial." "Wow, even here people are so risk averse!"

Tammy logged onto her Facebook to read the social news coverage on a concert that she was unable to attend. She read comments, saw pictures, and watched some of the concert on video which was recorded on a smartphone. She felt happy because she finished her term paper and still felt as if she was actually at the concert.

Where consumers band together online to influence, collectively, the price of a good or service, a form of social shopping and reverse pricing.
A website or mobile app that reduces the prices of its products or services for every like or tweet that potential customers generate as a group is using a form of social commerce. Or when consumers get their friends to buy a sufficient number of ecommerce coupons, they are engaged in social commerce. In effect, consumers are banding together online to influence the price at which they are willing to buy and companies are paying their customers to do their marketing for them.
