I would suggest they ARE intimately connected - but they shouldn't be.

Can we use "nonstate Capitalism" as a clearer term for communication?

I haven't heard the term "non-state capitalism" before. What do you mean by it? What does one gain from giving away the original precise definition of capitalism? 🤔

I don't know if I've read the term "nonstate Capitalism", or coined it myself, but I think its a succinct way to express to normies that we are not talking about the (statist-, crony-) hyphenated "Capitalism" they experience in real life.

Can you link me to this original precise definition of Capitalism? I understood it to have been originally defined as the negation of Socialism. Which would be far from precise...

Ah good point. Instead of fighting for a precise definition as it's written in economic terms, you're saying, "hey, I don't mean what you think I mean" with a new term. Interesting. I'll have to think about that.

My understanding on where the term capitalism came from agrees with yours. It was first coined as the opposite of the communist paradise.
