We are now officially at war. We either defeat and subjugate the Corpzis, or they enslave us.

[Zorra]

I refuse to live under a corporate run government instituted by activist judges that have arbitrarily decided that they have the right to make their own laws by which they may govern us. Especially since these traitors, these enemies of democracy, were appointed by an illegitimate pResident that was not democratically elected but was himself appointed by activist judges.

We need to take them down. Whatever it takes. By any means possible. (Er, oh yeah, I do, of course, mean by any legal process possible, whatever that is, in a country where there is no longer any legitimate high court to interpret what the rule of law is. Yeh, that's what I was saying, of course)

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, or by a group,”FDR

2. Yeah, that's exactly what they are - Corporate Socialists.

[Cronus Protagonist]

3. Sorry, you lost me on that one

Socialism was only a front for the Nazis. Socialism in proper context is not inherently bad, and has nothing to do with the Nazis who were clearly fascists despite the name they masqueraded under.

And "Corporate Socialist" is an oxymoron anyway.

7. OK. Hopefully, this will clarify it for you:

Corporatism is a system of economic, political, or social organization where corporate groups such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, scientific, or religious groups are joined together into a single body in which the different groups are mandated to negotiate with each other to establish policies in the interest of the multiple groups within the body.<1> The word "corporatism" is derived from the Latin word for body, corpus. This meaning is not connected with the contemporary inaccurate and pejorative use of corporatism to describe politics that is dominated by business corporations. Corporatism views society as being alike to an organic body in which each corporate group is viewed as a necessary organ for society to function properly.<2> Corporatism is related to the sociological concept of functionalism.<3> Countries that have corporatist systems typically utilize strong state intervention to direct corporatist policies and to prevent conflict between the groups.<4>

Corporatism has been supported from various proponents across the political spectrum, including: absolutists, capitalists, conservatives, fascists, progressives, reactionaries and theologians.<5>

Political scientists may also use the term corporatism to describe a practice whereby a state, through the process of licensing and regulating officially-incorporated social, religious, economic, or popular organizations, effectively co-opts their leadership or circumscribes their ability to challenge state authority by establishing the state as the source of their legitimacy, as well as sometimes running them, either directly or indirectly through corporations. This usage is particularly common in the area of East Asian studies, and is sometimes also referred to as state corporatism. Some analysts have applied the term neocorporatism to certain practices in Western European countries, such as the Tupo in Finland and Proporz system in Austria.<6> At a popular level in recent years "corporatism" has been used in a pejorative context to refer to the application of corporatism by fascist regimes<7> or to mean the promotion of the interests of private business corporations in government over the interests of the public.

8. Clear as mud..........

Thanks anyway. I have a feeling that the phrase or idea will not take off and therefore is moot. I still agree that the corporations taking over the country is fucked up, so we're still on the same side, whatever it's called. :)

10. That's Corporate Communists to you.

Socialist would spread the wealth.

[Odin2005]

4. The Corporatocracy must be destroyed. No more comprimises.

[BlueCollar]

5. The most effective way to wage war

against corporate America is easy....

1) Pay cash as you go.

2) Never sign a long-term contract.

3) Keep changing your providers, regardless of the rates.

4) Boycott/Boycott/Boycott

[cutlassmama]

9. Sounds good. Already doing this

[Zorra]

11. I'm hoping that a serious resistance movement will emerge because of this ruling.

Some way to develop effective weapons that can stop corporatism.

[The_Commonist]

6. Agreed!

So now, what are we gonna do about it?
I'm all ears...
