A capitalist republic is a concept of government completely the reverse of Marxist thought. Whereas a socialist republic is a 'dictatorship of the proletariat', a capitalist republic is a 'dictatorship of the bourgeoisie'. In On New Democracy, Mao Zedong distinguished his vision of a New Democratic Republic from a capitalist republic, which he characterized as an 'old European-American form' of government that was 'out of date'.[1][2]

A capitalist republic was the goal of Sean Murray in the Irish Republicanism movement in the 1930s. At a meeting in Rathmines, Murray advocated a capitalist republic for Ireland, taking what commentators have described as a 'stages' approach, where national freedom and socialism were treated as distinct stages in the goals that Republicans sought to achieve. Murray advocated first the achievement of national freedom, to form a capitalist republic, followed by a transition from a capitalist republic to a socialist republic. Other Republicans, Gilmore and O'Donnell, sought the same goal but with the stages in the reverse order: uprooting capitalism through struggle and thereby achieving national independence as a consequence. Mike Milotte has noted that although Murray advocated a capitalist republic, 'by avoiding the prefix its precise class nature was obscured'.[3][4]
