We now have a definition provided by RF of "capitalist".
http://www.religiousforums.com/foru...0-definitions-restricted-political-areas.html
Included is "state capitalism". From Wikipedia, we have this partial description of it....
I say this flies in the face of what we intended in asking for this DIR.
And by such a broad definition, is there even anyone who would not
be included? Capitalists are not allowed to post in the Socialist DIR,
so why should socialists be free to post in both?

Should we really have fans of Soviet Socialism included in our midst?State capitalism is usually described as an economic system in which commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity is undertaken by the state, with management and organization of the means of production in a capitalist manner, including the system of capital accumulation, wage labor, and centralized management.[1] This designation applies to economies regardless of the political aims of the state, even if the state is nominally socialist.[2] State capitalism is characterized by the dominance of state-owned business enterprises in the economy. Examples of state capitalism include corporatized government agencies (agencies organized along corporate and business management practices) and states that own controlling shares of publicly listed corporations (acting as a shareholder). State capitalism is usually used as criticism of states that named themselves socialist;[2] for instance, many communist and Marxist tendencies argue that the Soviet Union did not establish socialism, but rather established state capitalism.[2][3]
