Phrase coined by Dylan Ratiger, MSNBC, basically meaning the current government/corporate system in place that is funneling money=power=control from the masses to a few select individuals, at the cost of competition and choice. Examples are the 24 trillion backing of the financial institutions and health care corporations that are exempt from the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Americans will only regain identity when they finally understand 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.
A misleading buzz word that literally just means Crony Capitalism.
Stop using the term Corporate Communism... it's Crony Capitalism.

I coined this term in 2001 in personal writings. It was stolen by a popular msnbc commentator who asserted to have coined the phrase and he did not.
It is the Corporate Communism that leads our nation, not the people.

Corporate communism, as defined by the Beatnik Bird, is when brain dead corporations own the means of communication, (the privatized Big Brother) and which are dedicated to promoting the anarchist idea that the best government is no government beyond the military and the police. Whatever government exists is a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporations kind of like Czarist Russia before the Marxist revolution in 1917 when everything was owned by royalty and its facilitator the church.
Corporate Communism is a blend of two of the most hated and abused terms in pop economics, corporatism, aka capitalism and communism, aka socialism. It was created by the Beatnik Bird as a descriptive term to grab the attention of those who have no factual knowledge of either but are convinced that either or both are evil.

Which brings me back to a point I made previously...
Hym "Corporate communism. The reason I hate capitalism. It allows corporations to enshrine themselves as mini communist dictatorships. And not like Marxist utopian communism but, like, North Korea communist dictatorship. Like... Once a month I have to go to a meeting (that essentially mirrors a church sermon) and affirm THEIR values (they say OUR but their is no US and WE don't have values and their values are antithetical to mine). At the end of year meeting they wanted me to THANK this nigga! Like, it was his last year as owner and he was passing the mantle off to HIS SON and the board of directors is just his kids and they wanted me to say 'THANKS DEAR LEADER!' So, I'm thanking him... For working FOR him... So his kids can become him and have dominion over a 3rd of my life, have entitled themselves to my attitude or my on-the-clock emotional state, compel my speech with 5 lines of NPC dialogue, and all of this under the threat of exile and privation if I fail to comply? And I have to wear a uniform (which started in communist China). They literally gaslight me with my schedule
I was supposed to have off Sunday but I show up Saturday and the schedule has been changed without my knowledge. And if I don't like it... I just have to move to a different communist dictatorship don't I? Except I CAN'T! Because the water pump on my car went out and I literally can't go further than a block away from my house without my car stalling! I went to Taco Bell last week and my car stalled on my way into my parking lot and I had to push it into a parking space. Can't afford to get it fix. Can't work more hours because they have labor quotas. They keep hiring people to supplant my hours but they keep firing them because they are worse. When my manager told me that they fired the last one I laughed in her fucking face because SHE KNOWS the job is shit and that noone wants to do it and no one is ever going to work as hard as they want you to (Because they want you to dedicate your life to the dear leader and one of their values is Humility defined as 'Doing all of the work and taking none of the credit'). But that's corporate communism for you."
