the Capitol
Capitolism is an ironic reference to an economy in which market forces are subsumed to political interests in Washington. The term is derived from Karl Marx's term for a private enterprise-based economy, Capitalism, and the name of the building in which the U.S. Congress meets, the Capitol.Similar to
crony capitalism,
capitolism isn't capitalism and it isn't quite socialism, but combines some of the worst aspects of both systems. A business that makes decisions based on what will earn it subsidies from Washington, rather than supply and demand, is
capitolist.

CAPITOLISM: Neither Capitalism or Socialism. A hybrid. An economic theory growing out of indifference, economic stupidity, fostered by self interest and lack of knowledge or basic economics, history or
social needs of either of the two different approaches. An economic system without direction,
coherence or reason. The practice brings to regulations, laws and budgets confusion and the consequence being economic disaster.

The building in which the United States Congress meets, as well as where the President is inaugurated. This building represents democracy and

the capitol building yesterday?

1. Seattle neighborhood populated mostly by an abundance of floppy beanie-wearing, ironically
mustachioed, self-important individuals. Most attend art school or are "photographers". Area seems to breed misguided political views. The area is flooded with overpriced, overcrowded boutique bars designed to resemble a dusty basement. Swill beer (i.e. Pabst,
Natural Ice, Busch,
Ranier, Olympia) is consumed in large quantities.
2. Hipster capitol of the Northwest
3. The Brooklyn of the West Coast.
Example:
"Bro, what's
goin down tonight?"
"Thinking about
hittin up Capitol Hill to drink all the PBRs. Coming?"
"Yeah, but I can't stay too late.
I have to go take pictures in the morning for class."
