Ive also heard of “survival capitalism”
No, they do it to point a finger at a root cause anyone can identify.
the root cause is capitalism
It’s hard for people raised thinking this system is the best to understand that corporatism is just one of many symptoms of the disease that is capitalism. This is all just part of the prognosis.
Or when “corporatism” doesn’t work, they’ll just make up words like “leveragism”
It’s worse than just making up new words.The use of “Leveragism” implies a different end to capitalism than the Communist revolution of Marx.
If the system is mutating into technofeudalism or becoming a debt-trap (leveragism), the traditional agent of change, (the industrial proletariat) may no longer exist in the form Marx described. The “gig economy” workers and digital serfs of technofeudalism face different exploitation mechanisms (rent extraction) than the factory workers of the 19th century (surplus value extraction).
The persistence of “late-stage” capitalism for over a century, and its potential transformation into technofeudalism, highlights capitalism’s adaptability. It suggests that rather than collapsing under its own weight to give way to communism, the system may simply evolve new mechanisms of extraction that postpone or prevent the Marxist endgame entirely.
anything but admitting that capitalism is working exactly as intended
Or they’ll say “crony” capitalism as if that is somehow a qualitative difference.
Badguyism
Seeing how correct Marx was about everything, he really understood how history moved. IE, Marx is the real Psychohistorist
“We don’t need socialism, we need stakeholder capitalism”.
