pseudo-capitalism

transactional exchanges that replication capitalistic ideology but are not a true exchange of equivalent and exact value. This is most often found within communities of non-strangers that live within a larger capitalistic framework, and as such, borrows it's language and mechanisms

Example cases:
"I'll pay for the gas if you buy the snacks"
"Nah, if you mow my lawn, let's just call it even"
"Don't worry about paying me back the couple bucks, it's more trouble than it's worth"
"Oh, I can do that for you! Pay me back by buying us pizza ahaha"

My neighborhood participates in pseudo-capitalism, and it makes us feel so much more connected

Anarcho-capitalism

An idea so absurdly contradictory that, if ever implemented, would result in the decimation of any rights you ever had and ultimately devolve back into feudalism. Would also incinerate the planet faster than capitalism ever could.

Anarcho-capitalism is what happens when you sleep through history class.

The pursuit of mutually beneficial interaction with others, and the rejection of altruistic, compulsory interaction without a definite purpose.

As a proponent of emotional capitalism, Ethan viewed the obligatory family gatherings as immoral.

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.
