Define Corporatism Meaning

Corporatism
A politico-economic system in which most power is held by large corporations, often mistakenly called capitalism. This is the current governing system of most of the world.

Man, that ain't capitalism. Look at all advantages the big multinationals get. Subsidies and all that shit. They write the laws. What you got is some motherfucking corporatism.

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

Corporatize
cor-po-ra-tize -
kawr-per-uh-tahyz, -pruh-tahyz–verb (used with object), -tized, -tiz-ing.

1. To aid or enable or encourage the dying of the light.

2. The buying and or acquiring of a wonderful, naturally occurring idea, event, or concept (hangout, rock band local bar & grill) that appeals to a certain group of people, and most likely has acquired some notoriety; then sterilizing the life and soul out of said idea until it can be digested by the masses. Thus aiding in both programming and maintaining the illusion of freedom enjoyed by the clones and worker bee’s we’ve all become.

"Why can't I have my burger cooked medium?" said the confused clone, "well sir we can corporatize that burger for you, for your own safety and because the lawyers told us we had to, either way sir your getting it well done" the server explains while trying to smile like the lady at the DMV did.

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!
