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.
Soon after her retirement from decades of diplomatic duties in socialist and communist countries, she committed a faux pas by identifying them all as forms of Commie-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” 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".

Contradictory. Anarchists have always been opposed capitalism. End of story.
Anarcho-capitalism is just capitalism without any regulations. Basically, if we lived in such a system, it would be 10 times worse than what we have now.

A dangerous overgrowth of capitalism and corporate power, to where those with the most money gain a disproportionate amount of influence with politicians and government entities.
From kudzu - the infamous invasive vine that spreads uncontrollably and grows extremely quickly.
Mark: You're a socialist communist pig!
Sarah: I'm not against capitalism in general, I just oppose the sort of kudzu capitalism that's taking over our government, where politicians' votes are bought by the highest bidder.

(ECONOMICS) the capital that a business sells in order to make money. The obvious example is the inventory of a convenience store; in this case, the circulating capital is the merchandise, and the fixed capital includes the cash register, the display racks, and so on.
In other cases, the circulating capital consists of raw materials or supplies; for example, a mechanic has transmission fluid or air filters, while a dress maker has muslin and thread.
An entrepreneur makes money by hanging onto fixed capital as long as possible, and getting rid of circulating capital as fast as possible.

A pseudo-ideology that attempts to meld an economic policy that requires a government to properly function with a governmental policy that can only be sustainable through a collectivist economy, and by any reasonable thought experiment would produce something neither anarchic nor capitalist but more resembling a dystopian, Stalin-esque society.
Claims to be anti-authoritarian, but when they support politicians, these politicians are uniformly authoritarian.
Also claim to be anti-collectivist, but dare criticize their cult-like philosophy and thousands will swarm on you like the goddamn Borg.
"Just found a mod that lets you establish Anarcho-Capitalism in Civ" "Oh yeah, what happens?" "It becomes a dictatorship in your next turn." "Wait, in Quick?" "No, Marathon." "Sounds about right."
