what is the meaning of steroidal? [closed]
Solution 1:
Yes, a more common expression is on steroids:
bigger, better, louder etc. than other similar things in a way that seems exaggerated and unreal.
So the sense is a state capitalism that is way beyond what is considered normal practice.
(MacMillan Dictionary)
Solution 2:
Often steroidal used in this sense relates to Male sex hormones only, and so 'steroidal' here means 'toxic masculinity'.
