Get the corporat mug.A term used by lefties.
A Corporate Sonderkommando is a person who seems to be unaffiliated with any business interests, usually a politician, who advocates the selling off of perfectly functional state owned assets, under the guise of innocuous sounding beliefs - such as 'market-liberalization'.
Whilst appearing like you and I and promoting all sorts of improvements to how you and I can live, the Corporate Sonderkommando (C.S.) actually works for large businesses and corporations, secretly if possible. The C.S. only exists to promote the interests of these financial institutions. The main consequence of the actions of a C.s. is a repeated attempt to take money from the poor and give it to the already rich. Like Robin Hood in reverse.
Best thought of as a Sociopath In Sheep's Clothing.
The effects of a C.S. upon society is extreme : After the C.S. led one-time sell off of profitable state-assets has completed, the taxes collected from big businesses curiously goes down rapidly and is replaced by increased taxation of the general public, despite their relative earnings decreasing at the same time. In no time at all 60+ hour work-weeks become normal and your children become unruly strangers.
Tell-tale signs of a C.S. are the, usually false, assurances that they make in advance of wreaking major damage to the poorer end of society :
"Competitive market places lead to lower prices"
"I believe in a small government"
"The only good market is a free market"
"Success and social promotion are not some right that anybody can claim after queuing at some government office. It is better: it is a right, a right that one can merit because of one's sweat."

Get the Corporate Sonderkommando mug.If you have ever had a credit card company lose your payment you have probably experienced corporate doublespeak.
A good example; You get a late notice from your credit card company. Instead of paying the minimum you pay the entire account off. Afterward they keep sending late notices and making phone calls. You phone them, you e-mail them, and you even send letters by snail mail to them.
All responses you receive from them are in lawyer language. They admit nothing and say nothing that makes any sense except to say that you are late with your payment and you will be reported to the credit bureau. Then mysteriously two weeks after payment had been sent electronically to them the payment posts and the calls end.

Wife: Why are we still getting those calls from the credit card company?
Husband: I paid them off a week ago but they say I did not. I have called them and e-mailed them. At first they act like I am lying. Then after they keep me on hold for a long time their tone turns cautious and they start talking in corporate doublespeak.
