What do we call this? Early stage capitalism? What the Western world is on track to return to? Forshadow capitalism?

This is when miners were paid in company currency and lived in company houses and shopped at a company store.

    This reminds me of the “toxic masculinity” discourse. Some people say that the term means that masculinity itself is toxic. Other people say that masculinity is fine, it’s toxic masculinity that’s the problem, hence the qualifier.

    I’ve seen people use the term late-stage capitalism to advocate for like, Bush era politics so I don’t think we’re getting the right message across.
