State Capitalism

"Not to be confused with Capitalist Communism and Dengism."

State Capitalism (condensed to StateCap and also known as Dirigisme) is an economic system where the state plays an active role in business or commercial activity. This can be direct in the form of state-owned enterprises or companies where the state has controlling shares, in an indirect form of the state planning through government agencies organized along for-profit and business management lines, or through state-sponsored private business activities. If the state owns or controls all the means of production or is the primary shareholder, this is called state monopoly capitalism (StateMoCap). State capitalism is usually seen as economically center since it denies the means of production to workers, yet is often collectivist in nature.

History
State Capitalism is not a formal ideology with unifying theory, nor was it used in a self descriptive term. State Capitalism is believed by some to have first been used and coined, by Friedrich Engels, in his and  Marx's book "Socialism: Utopic and Scientific". It was later on also used by many Anarchists,  Left Communists, and  Council Communists, in criticism of the  USSR.

In the modern day state capitalism has been used to described countries like Taiwan,, and. Critics of United States, such as Noam Chomsky, believe its state capitalist since government backs  big business interests while playing a substantial role in development (e.g., bailouts and public research respectively). Libertarian socialists also describe the Soviet Union as state capitalist for centralizing surplus value extraction and commodity production;  anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninists would apply this criticism to  the Khrushchev administration.

Beliefs
State Capitalism can take on many forms, both theoretical and material, as it did historically.
 * Industries being ran as private enterprises with the State being the primary or sole shareholder.
 * State direction or control of investment, either indirectly (e.g., contracts) or directly (like sovereign wealth funds).
 * "Privatization" of the State so it operates as a single, for-profit economic monopoly.
 * Implementing decentral or central planning while maintaining private resource ownership and markets.
 * A strong, for-profit public sector co-exists and/or competes with the private sector.
 * Any combination of these.
