	State Capitalism
		Unfortunately, their unwitting support of state capitalism is contrary to the teachings of von Mises, Rothbard, and Rockwell, and actually lessens the chances of someone actually accepting freedom and the free market.
		State capitalism is a real problem that people who advocate the free market would be wise to confront head on.
		State capitalism is as much or more to blame for the problems we face along with its complement, state socialism.

	State Capitalism and Dictatorship
		The term "State Capitalism" is frequently used in two different ways : first, as an economic form in which the state performs the role of the capitalist employer, exploiting the workers in the interest of the state.
		Then state capitalism will be the way out : the preservation of exploitation in the form of a "socialistic" society, where the "most capable leaders", the "best brains", and the "great men of action" will direct production and the masses will work obediently under their command.
		The only state capitalism which was enabled to transfer the means of production to state ownership is the Russian, but not on account of their state of high development, rather on account of their low degree of development.

	State capitalism
		The most common definition of state capitalism within Marxist literature is that it is a social system combining capitalism (the wage labor system of producing and appropriating surplus value) with state ownership.
		The term "state capitalism" has also been used by anarchists, but in that case it is applied to the entire history of Soviet Russia, from 1918 onward.
		An alternative definition is that state capitalism is a close relationship between the government and private capitalism, such as one in which the private capitalists produce for a guaranteed market, where many (but not an overwhelming proportion) of large enterprises are government-owned.

	Capitalism FAQ: Theory
		Capitalism recognizes that it is just for a man to keep what he has earned and that it is unjust for a man, or group of men, to have the right to what other people have earned.
		Capitalism is the only system which protects individual rights and freedom, but the variety of political systems which violate individual freedom are numerous: socialism, communism, fascism, Nazism, absolute monarchies, military dictatorships, theocracies, or the welfare state are all systems which infringe upon individual rights, which means they institutionalize the initiation of force against their citizens.
		In particular, her connection of capitalism to individual rights, and her recognition that individuals have the moral right to live for their own sake makes her philosophy of Objectivism of utmost importance for a thorough and consistent defense of capitalism.

		State capitalism is often confused with communism: the social system that prevailed in many pre-colonial indigenous communities in Africa and the Americas and which is the underlying economic process of the kibbutz system in Israel.

	Ted Grant - Against the Theory of State Capitalism - Reply to Comrade Cliff
		If we have state capitalism in Russia (ushered in by a proletarian revolution), then it is clear that the crisis of capitalism on which we have based ourselves for the past decades was not insoluble but purely the birth pangs of a new and higher stage of capitalism.
		State compulsion like money compulsion is an inheritance from the class society, which is incapable of defining the relations of man to man except in the form of fetishes, churchly or secular, after appointing to defend them the most alarming of all fetishes, the state, with a great knife between its teeth.

	4. STATE CAPITALISM \| International Communist Current
		In the decadence of capitalism the general tendency towards state capitalism is one of the dominant characteristics of social life.
		The statification of capital takes place either in a gradual manner through the fusion of ‘private’ and state capital as is generally the case in the most developed countries, or through sudden leaps in the form of massive and total nationalisations, in general in places where private capital is at its weakest.
		In practice, although the tendency towards state capitalism manifests itself in all countries in the world, it is more rapid and more obvious when and where the effects of decadence make themselves felt in the most brutal manner; historically during periods of open crisis or of war, geographically in the weakest economies.

	STATE CAPITALISM
		State capitalism is a term proposed by critical sociologists and social theorists to describe the political and economic structure of Soviet-style communist systems.
		The core idea is that state ownership of the means of production, as in Russia and other previously communist regimes, did not lead to any emancipation of the workers but merely substituted bureaucratic domination by the state and state officials for that of owners of capital.

		The establishment of numerous satellite states in Eastern Europe after World War II gave the socialist movement numerous problems because socialists hold that it is necessary for the working class to take power by means of revolution in order to actually achieve socialism.
		"State Capitalism In Russia" (originally written as "The Nature Of Stalinist Russia") deals with exceptional clarity with the argument of Trotsky that Russia was still a workers' state because the property was nationalised.
		Cliff's theory of state capitalism explains the Soviet ruling class' actions in the years after World War II very well because understanding the bureaucracy as a capitalist ruling class explains their desire to compete with the West.

		In fact capitalism began in England in the 17th and 18th centuries with slave-labour and looting in the colonies as part of its base.
		Capitalism remains capitalism throughout its various changes because its central dynamic, its internal motor, remains unchanged, and it is to this that we now turn.
		In his book Capital, Marx stresses that the motive force of capitalism is not the consumption of the capitalist, but the fact that in order to fulfil his role as a capitalist he has to accumulate: the capitalist’s “own private consumption is a robbery perpetrated on accumulation...

	Monopoly Capital
		Although the state capitalism of the twentieth century (as opposed to the earlier misnamed "laissez faire" variant, in which the statist character of the system was largely disguised as a "neutral" legal framework) had its roots in the mid-nineteenth century, it received great impetus as an elite ideology during the depression of the 1890s.
		The general effect of the state's intervention in the economy, then, is to remove ever increasing spheres of economic activity from the realm of competition in price or quality, and to organize them collectively through organized capital as a whole.
		One such state policy is the promotion or granting of loans abroad, either by direct state loans, or by banking policies that centralize the banking system and thus facilitate the accumulation of large sums of capital for foreign loans.

	State Capitalism II - April 8, 2005 - The New York Sun
		Yesterday's editorial, "State Capitalism," made the point that state and city government in New York have somehow gotten into the real estate business so thoroughly that it seems that all major projects take place at the whim of the politicians.
		Silverstein is having a difficult time negotiating with the city and state now over the site, it is just one more sign that the governor should have gone all the way at the outset, with an outright sale of the land and the buildings rather than a lease.
		New Yorkers in and out of the real estate industry would be best served were the governor, the mayor, and the other politicians to just stop subsidizing the construction of office space anywhere in the city, and then create a low-tax, low-regulation environment where businesses have normal profit incentives to operate.

	Against the Theory of State Capitalism
		Once Cliff admits that while capitalism is declining and decaying on a world scale, yet preserving a progressive role in Russia in relation to the development of the productive forces, then logically he would have to say that state capitalism is the next stage forward for society, or at least for the backward countries.
		If we have state capitalism in Russia (ushered in by a proletarian revolution), then it is clear that the crisis of capitalism on which we have based ourselves for the past decades was not insoluble but purely the birth pangs of a new and higher stage of capitalism.
		State compulsion like money compulsion is an inheritance from the class society, which is incapable of defining the relations of man to man except in the form of fetishes, churchly or secular, after appointing to defend them the most alarming of all fetishes, the state, with a great knife between its teeth.

	State Capitalism vs. Libertarian Socialism - International The left - Anarkismo
		The capital of the capitalists is their profits or surplus value that has been converted into the material form of surplus value, the means of production in order to produce yet more surplus value and capital and thus enslave more workers as capitalism spreads around the world and becomes global.
		The state in capitalism is a body that facilitates and coordinates the exploitation of labour in the interests of the capitalist class and the collective interests of the exploiting class in general.
		The state thus as representing and acting in the interests of the capitalists or exploiters is synonymous with it and is the personification of capital and the exploiting class.

		This stage of 'state capitalism' is still with us and it involves the attempt to manage markets and accumulation through national bureaucracies.
		Political power was used to ensure that capital was free to move where it would, but many other freedoms, such as the right to work, were sacrificed in order to achieve this.
		All the major powers of the twentieth century took a political form conducive to state capitalism in the decade which began in 1861 with the American civil war, the completion of Italy's risorgimento and the abolition of serfdom in Russia.

	A Future of Peace and Capitalism - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The difference between free-market capitalism and state capitalism is precisely the difference between, on the one hand, peaceful, voluntary exchange, and on the other, violent expropriation.
		With brilliant astuteness, Oppenheimer called this method of obtaining wealth "the political means." And then he went on to define the state, or government, as "the organization of the political means," i.e., the regularization, legitimation, and permanent establishment of the political means for the acquisition of wealth.
		State capitalism inevitably creates all sorts of problems which become insoluble; as Mises again has pointed out, one intervention into the system to try to solve problems only creates other problems, which then demand further interventions, etc., and so the whole process keeps snowballing until you have a completely collectivist, totalitarian system.

	CLR James and State Capitalism
		The resulting Stalinist system, based on the overthrow of a workers' state, was hampered by its proletarian shell (because the remaining gains of the workers prevented the system from being efficiently exploitative).
		The current flight from state ownership, in the West as well as the East, reflects the fact that state property embodies remnants of working-class gains; it hinders the all-out exploitation the bosses need.
		For Lenin, the essential character of a workers' state is its advance of workers' consciousness, to prepare the working class as a whole to rule.

		Socialism is state ownership of the means of production + planned economy (it can hardly be anything else, when the state owns the economic assets, and as such, has the power to decide the prices and application of the final goods).
		Capitalism is private ownership, with emphasis on private.
		Ergo "state capitalism" is an oxymoron - "state capitalism" would essentially mean "state private ownership" - an obvious contradiction (I hope?).
