It seems we live with a lexicon of either if something isn't communist or socialist, which seems to be well defined, then it has to be capitalist. Which somehow doesn't seem to be well defined.
I was just scrolling through reddit and saw a post "We live in a capitalist society therefore blah blah". We DO NOT live in a capitalist society. This is annoying me beyond fuck to keep hearing / reading. However since we don't live in an outright socialist / communist economy, and since there is no other type of economy termed other than capitalist, it's harder to argue because 'normal' minds need a simple word to settle on.
