Recessivism

(Noun) 1. Social, political and economic philosophy designed to disassemble (with the intent to destroy) democratic republican ideals and institutions and supplant them with pro-corporate economic primacy. This philosophy is designed to benefit the economic elite, usually corporate, over or at the expense of other communal or societal institutions, such as governments. A practitioner of recessivism champions corporate personhood and rights often at the direct expense of the environment, flesh and blood human rights and socio-economic conditions. Practitioners typically pursue deregulation of financial institutions to the point of facilitating the cannibalistic stage of capitalism.
