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.

Get the corporatism mug.A website once known as 'YouTube' that claimed anyone in the world could "broadcast" themselves freely without being a subject to consumer-related pander. This once innocent and playful website has since morphed into an extravagant sell-out and media vehicle of shameless marketing executives. Users are now forced to constantly press 'F5' or close the 'ad box' whenever they (try) to watch a video.
"Oh you want to subject me to an ad? I'll never buy this product AND I won't watch it. That will show CorporateTube." *hits F5 and it doesn't work* "FUUUUUUUUU-"
*Sits back to watch video on full screen* ... five seconds later... "FUCKING AD BOX!"

Get the Meow Corporations mug.A rapidly expanding business entity rooted deep in the underworld of Magnolia, Texas that has vowed to vanqush the venal and virulent vermin vangaurding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. V2 Corporation has been vandalizing virgins vaginas since 1988. This coalition of vandalous vagabonds are forever V.I.P. and are entitled to using only V Notes and receive as many virgins as they desire as consorts. consistent vandalism is a must in this corporation, as that is where much of their V Notes flow from as well as:violating,vanquishing and vanity.Roots of this underground faction extend back to the roman empire;or more specifically, the roman numeral for five:V. However, even this is not the full extent of their ancestry; biblical references contain allusions to the leaders of V2 Corporation themselves. Some scientists claim the number 42 as the number of the universe; well 42 divided by 2 is 21 and 21 + 2 is 23 and 2+3=5 and as already stated above, the roman numeral for 5 is V. Therefore, V is the master of the universe. When you try your best but you arent victorious, join V2. You will soon vanquish the competition.
