Hard to tell who is who and what is what anymore these days.

No, it's not.

I cannot fathom why you people are having trouble with concepts.

Grand-larceny committed by a terrorist still makes him a terrorist.

*sigh* ...The problem here is that Karl has chosen to entitle one of his tickers with the latest fashionable hyphenated concept negation

Quote:
"State Capitalism" is not capitalism.
"State-capitalism" is another example of a hyphenated concept negation in which the addition of a hyphenated term ("state-") completely negates the entire concept of the original term (capitalism). "Libertarian-socialism" is another example. I.e., it's a self-contained oxymoron.

The people who create these terms do so for the purpose of obfuscation and language destruction.

Similarly, "financial-terrorism" is not "terrorism" in the primary definition sense to which we have become accustomed to in the wake of 9/11 (i.e., indiscriminate mass-murder).

A perfectly good word already exists, extortion, and it should be used -- especially as "clean language" does not permit moonbats to obfuscate by comparing Wall Street welfare-queens to mass-murderers in order to besmirch capitalism again (their persistent, overriding agenda).
