grab capitalism by the balls

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.
as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, people like Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes.

Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics

The unofficial de-facto economic system of Indonesia that punishes foreign businesses and companies that create jobs, and employment opportunities for Indonesians, and contribute substantial tax revenue to the government and by extension, the country's standard of living for doing certain things that offend the delicate sensibilities of the Indonesian people in areas wholly unrelated to the quality of the goods and services delivered by these companies.

i.e., releasing an advertisement that certain people believe looks similar to a conflict happening the middle east that may or may not actually be depicting said conflict, or a franchisee of a fast food chain completely separate from the franchisee in Indonesia donating free meals to the military of a middle eastern country in a conflict.
Makcik: Eh, Abang! You heard that McDonalds is giving free meals to the IDF? How dare they support GENOCIDE??! I think they forgot that under Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics we can boycott their brands and cause thousands of Indonesians to lose their jobs, investments and lower our standard of living yet still believe we are doing shit to help Palestinians!!

Abang: Hahaha come on lets teach Ronald McDonald the imperialist what we Indonesians are made of!! Indonesia Boleh!!

Commit a crime against capitalism

Yes crimes against capitalism exist. However this crime is currently not achievable unless G-d says capitalism can't exist.
Commit a crime against capitalism is committed when normal people go nuts ๐Ÿ™ƒ and want to replace capitalism with their own liberal woke ideas. Punishment: remove people like Bill Gates and John Kerry from all levers of power.
