#StateCapitalism
Lenin, 1917:
'The big banks are the "state apparatus" which we need to bring about socialism, and which we take ready-made from capitalism; our task here is merely to lop off what capitalistically mutilates this excellent apparatus, to make it even bigger' @iliasalami.bsky.social #statecapitalism

#Gift Wall Street Journal on Trump's #StateCapitalism. Free market economics are now being replaced by what some call gangster capitalism where the Great Leader picks the winners & losers. The paper compares this with China's economic system.

Competitive authoritarianism, or some form of statecapitalism seems to be what all ambitious leaders of state dream of these days.

Everything Elon Musk takes credit for? China does it faster, cheaper, and at scale. EVs, rockets, high-speed rail—they don’t need a billionaire PR show. Meanwhile, the West worships a state-subsidized illusion. #StateCapitalism #ChinaOutpacesUSA

China is a capitalist economy. State capitalist, but capitalist. Anyone who has spent real time there sees it, and the pure free market everyone talks about does not exist anywhere.

IF I'd the aptitude for studying all this fantastical World history, tyrants and kings, nazis and oligarchs, elections and coups, THEN I wouldn't be in a constant state of #SHOCKandAWE now.
#STATECapitalism - new term for me but I get it. #damnthebastards
"Trump also seeks political control over agencies that have long operated at arm’s length from the White House, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Federal Reserve. That, too, has echoes of China where the bureaucracy is fully subordinate to the ruling party..."

“Trump’s MAGA is abandoning free markets. From CEO intimidation to picking industry winners, it mirrors state capitalism—less Smith, more Xi. #MAGA #StateCapitalism #EconomicTakeover” fortune.com/2025/08/12/m...
Is MAGA going Marxist and Maoist? Trump's assault on free-market capitalism
Many business leaders are horrified at the prospect of New York City turning socialist under Zohran Mamdani, but Trump's assaults on free-market capitalism make him look like John D. Rockefeller.

Not quite a golden share, but still a U.S. government equity position … #statecapitalism …

What's missing here is the significant difference between #CorporateCapitalism (US) & #StateCapitalism (China & Russia - no matter how they describe themselves).

And the US might actually be accurately described as #MilitaryIndustrialCapitalism in that the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex IS the US. 💀🇺🇸💀

“A model of crony #statecapitalism that tries to resuscitate a long-dead industrial #economy is hardly an antidote to #neoliberalism.”
“The best that can be said of Trump’s approach to the #economy is that it is an experimental phase in the #post-neoliberal transition. The good news is that future #policymakers will not have to look far for new guiding principles” www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/n...

3/ Capital in China is publicly owned, state-directed, or tightly controlled. The market exists—but it serves socialist goals, not extractive elites. #StateCapitalism #PeopleOverProfit

It was a bribe to keep you and your administration from using taxpayer money to buy equality in private businesses. #StateCapitalism

La pregunta ahora es si un gobierno puede poseer acciones en las empresas que vigila sin que un papel reescriba silenciosamente al otro.

China's #UrbanDevelopment model, reliant on #LandFinance, reaches limits in the post-pandemic era. Governance transformations highlight tensions between capitalist & territorial logic. Wu et al engage Chinese experiences with late- & new- #StateCapitalism. buff.ly/CmTc50R
