corporate communism

1. Property communally owned by major corporations (big business, mega-corps), with the production and distribution of goods and services, supported and determined by limited competition in the marketplace.
2. Government contracts (usually military) are given to corporations. Also, known as "corporate welfare".
3. The "Military-Industrial Complex" mentioned by President Dwight Eisenhower in his final speech.

Attributed to Cenk Uygur, host and founder of the progressive media group, "The Young Turks".
Originally created by Francwa Sims, author of the "Anacostia Diaries: The Rants of a Madman, 2002".

All these companies depend on corporate communism to survive, but don't want their employees to have guaranteed health insurance for all, worker unions, a living wage, and paid leave.

Corporate Hack

A worker drone in a big ass corporation who strives for mediocrity, is threatened by critical thinking and always takes the easy or safe way out instead of what pushes forward. Is inauthentic and willing to jump aboard the latest fad for brownie points from their superiors or to push along a popular agenda even if they haven't really thought it through or actually care. A pencil pusher. A workplace politics rat. Will throw others under the bus to save their own skin or to cover up their own fuckups.

" Tony's up to his fuckery again. Started wearing some new badge about that thing after HR sent that 'we stand for so-and-so' email. Yesterday he was making jokes about it when he handed the report in late and blamed everyone except himself for it. He's such a corporate hack, I wanna punch his face and smack that slimy grin off" grimaced Arsene.

"Ah crap, Tony's coming this way.. and he's... handing badges out? Kill me now" Mark groaned.

"Guy creeps me out, but management seems to like him, so what do I know?" Sherry remarked.
