Obama is a corporatist. Every appointment, every action, every single thing he has done has been pro-business. "Corporatism" is the word Benito Mussolini preferred for "Fascism". So calling him a fascist seems pretty reasonable rather than some sort of pejorative. You really don't know what a corporatist is. You have swallowed a big scare word and are now simply regurgitating it. Corporatism has very little to do with being pro-business. Mussolini's corporatism was an attempt to organize labor and management into councils. Your use of the term is far off the mark. Il Duce was a rabid socialist much admired early on by FDR and W Churchill. Try this for some enlightenment: Corporatism, also known as corporativism has more than one meaning. It may refer to political, or social organization that involves association of the people of society into corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests.[1] Corporatism is theoretically based upon the interpretation of a community as an organic body.[2][3] The term corporatism is based on the Latin root word "corpus" (plural – "corpora") meaning "body".[3] In 1881, Pope Leo XIII commissioned theologians and social thinkers to study corporatism and provide a definition for it. In 1884 in Freiburg, the commission declared that corporatism was a "system of social organization that has at its base the grouping of men according to the community of their natural interests and social functions, and as true and proper organs of the state they direct and coordinate labor and capital in matters of common interest".[4] Corporatism is related to the sociological concept of structural functionalism.[5] Corporate social interaction is common within kinship groups such as families, clans and ethnicities.[6] Aside from humans, certain animal species are known to exhibit strong corporate social organization, such as penguins.[7][8] Corporatist types of community and social interaction are common to many ideologies, including: absolutism, capitalism, conservatism, fascism, liberalism, progressivism, reactionism, socialism, and syndicalism.[9] For Benito: Corporatism may also refer to economic tripartism involving negotiations between business, labour, and state interest groups to establish economic policy.[10] This is sometimes also referred to as neo-corporatism.
