The term was specifically created to describe the status quo when Karl Marx was knocking about.

If true communism has never existed, then wouldnt it stand to reason that capitalism hasn't either? You cannot buy drugs etc legally. I'm talking about snow crash/BioShock capitalism.

I was trying to say that neither extreme has been tried, although we are damn close

Oh. Well I'm not, haha. Capitalism for me is when the means of production is in private hands and the owner employs people to do the labour for a fraction of the value of the end product in order to make a profit. That quite accurately describes the current status quo, I think!
