No way nessie. The differences between capitalism (monopoly or otherwise) and
communism are profound. This "state monopoloy capitalism" is the sort
Orwellian wordplay which seeks to obfuscate the real differences between
capitalist economies where consumer demand, private ownership and profit
incentives guide the economy delivering the society of plenty that most of us
live in, and communist economies where state planning, state ownership, and
state direction, delivers shortages, sloth and apathy.
Of course, if you think you can convince someone who has lived in a Communist
country that the material reality of their lifestyle was no different from
life in the "state monopoly capitalist" US go ahead.
And another thing, the use of the term "state monopoly capitalist" reeks of
the sort of backsliding wordplay one even gets from my favourite bugbear,
Noam Chomsky, who in his socialist idealism, regularly redefines the former
Communist bloc as "state capitalist", thus freeing his preferred way of life
from the burden of its profound & demonstrable failure and further damning
the demonic capitalist society of the US which, funnily enough, he just can't
bring himself to leave.... But I digress.
