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.
Variants
Champagne Socialism
Champagne Socialism is a phrase used to describe self-identified socialists who live lifestyles of luxury and excessive self-interested spending, which conflict with political beliefs of wealth redistribution and anti-capitalism.
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 privately-owned means of production (according to themselves), 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.
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.

You're finished!
