corporatism 

corporatism is something a lot of people on UD get wrong, it's not rule of the corporations. this misinterpretation happens when people see the prefix "corp" and suffix "ism", and they automatically assume "rule of the corporations" while this is not true. corporatism is third position economics which is rejecting both capitalism and communism. capitalism is made for individualism while corporatism is collectivism. corporatism calls for worker unions and class collaboration, while capitalism does not (inherently).
Communist: Dude the United States is corporatist.

Chad Corporatist: WHAT? That's not what corporatism is at all, just because you hear "corp" and "ism", doesn't mean it's rule of the corporations. Corporatist is collectivist and advocates for worker rights, but it is anti-communist and anti-capitalist. It still allows private ownership like private property (as a commodity).

Communist: Oh. Thanks.

Corporatism 

Corporatism, or latter day capitalism, is a result of trusts and public trading allowing the financial sector to take absolute control of a nation's economy - with the state serving as nothing but a vehicle for their wants, via an established managerial class.
Capitalism = a free market with a small state.
Corporatism = an absolute market with a puppet large state.
Fascism = an absolute large state with a puppet market.
Communism = an absolute state with no market.
Free trade and private fiat central currency doesn't happen under mercantilism. Only under corporatism is the financial sector in a position to truly push the public out of the 'affairs of the state', for good.

Corporatism 

corporatism - A economy where the governments regulatory bodies exist to protect the profit margin of it's major corporations. Not to be confused with Capitalism like most American idiots do. America is no longer a capitalist (competition among individuals) society, it is a corporatist one.
American idiot: America is the greatest nation on earth because we are Capitalist!

Me: No, we are Corporatism, that is why the SEC and FBI exist to protect the profits of major corporations. Why do you think they took down the MOB? they were for labor unions. Also, look at the FDA/CDC, they won't approve any treatment for any ailment that can't be patented by a Pharma corporation no matter how much science shows that treatment option works. Wake up!
