Capitalist Communism

Capitalist Communism (CapCom), also called Communo-Capitalism (ComCap) and (Mut-Com) is an ideology representing the unity between the far sides of economic left and far sides of the economic right. It wants the state to use the capitalist zones to the advantage of the communist state. The state is more powerful than the capitalist corporations and is seen to control them. This usually manifests in CapCom representing Dengism (Socialism with Chinese Characteristics), which is basically a communist state that allows capitalism and free-market and free-enterprise in certain zones of its territory.

It can also manifest into being a vague system in which ownership of Communes is sold on the free market. Capcom can also represent some form of syncretism between Communist and Capitalist systems like Distributism or  Left-Rothbardianism, however unlike these ideologies, it does not combine the more, centrist 'sensible', parts of capitalism and communism, rather combining the most extreme parts of it.

[[File:Marketcom.png]] Market Communism
Several communist countries, for the economy not to crash, ended up adopting some minor economic reforms that allowed a small market with strong government participation and some cases (China, Vietnam and the NEP) allowed foreign investment, but still, without private property, many times using State Capitalism. Some examples could be Tito's Yugoslavia with its market socialism and certain cooperation with private enterprise, the NEP in Lenin's Soviet Union, the black indigenous entrepreneurship program of the current government in Zimbabwe, China, and Vietnam, especially on Võ Văn Kiệt, contemporary Cuba after some reforms by Raul Castro after the protests, Libya by Muammar Gaddafi among many others.

[[File:CronyCapCom.png]] Crony Socialism
Crony Socialism is the utilization of at least a nominally socialist system to give privileges to cronies. It usually manifests itself in a socialist system in decay. For example, the Brezhnev-era USSR gave to party members privileges comparable to the upper class in a modern capitalist system, such as luxury cars and fancy housing.

Personality
CapCom is usually presented as rather eccentric, with them being CCP's (lol no) number one apologist and really loving Pepsi as his drink of choice.
