Topic on ProleWiki talk:Editorial guidelines

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

Comrade @Wisconcom has suggested that we need a systematic way of naming types of governments. I think bringing this discussion here would help have more ideas on it. Here is his message:

We need a regimented way of naming types of governments. For example, we ought to universally call capitalist governments which have major corporate influence in them a "corporatocratic republic" or a "corporatocracy". Or refer to capitalist regimes which lack as much corporate influence a "Plutocracy". Furthermore, this naming convention should be included in the editorial guidelines.

I agree with his position that we need a systematic approach to typology of capitalist states, governments, etc. This is a very interesting discussion in Marxism, even. But I disagree with his "corporatocracy" or "corporatocratic republic" and "plutocracy" examples.
