Conceptualists

OK, I just went to check my issue and I was surprised to see that my country was "Capitalizt." But this seems inconsistent with the description.
The Kabal of Conceptualists is a huge, devout nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 655 million enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.
people are moving into treehouses in record numbers, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, refugees from other nations are flocking to Conceptualists's border, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Conceptualists's national animal is the artist, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the canvas
I thought the bolded part was completely contrary to Capitalizm. ie Massive private sector, no taxes etc.
