The WA category "Capitalizt", is it supposed to be "Capitalist"?
Or is it misspelled on purpose?
An example. (http://www.nationstates.net/71881/nation=bataaf)

Ah, Grasshopper ...
Oh, all right, here's The Most Glorious Hack on the subject in 2003:
...or you could read the book, where the acknowledgments section mentions that a friend of Max suggested that the book be called "Capitalizm".
'Capitalizm' is used frequently in the book to describe a society where corporations rival the government in power. The USA has taken over much of North and South American, the British Isles, Australia, NZ, etc. The European Union is marked on the backcover map as "Here Be Tarrifs".
Capitalizm is a world where capitalism has run amuck. To the extent that a person's surname is the name of their employer; hence Jennifer Government.

My excuse is, I've just tried to park in a shopping centre. Pre-Christmas. After school. When the learner-drivers come out.

"Would you like pie?"
