Corporatocracy

"This page is for the ideology that advocates for corporate control or influence of government, for the third-positionist economic ideology espoused by many fascists, see Corporatism."

Corporatocracy also called Corpocracy, Crony Capitalism, Lemon Socialism, Cronyism, Supercapitalism and Socialism for the Rich is an economic system in which the state intervenes within the economy for the benefit of the profit of a select number for corporations, especially in the context of squashing competition.

History
Corporatocracy-like economic policy could have been said to have started with the process of enclousure in England. Enclosure was a process in England practiced since the 13th century by which the English State took by force rural land that was traditionally owned communally by small collectives and then gave them to private owners.

When Mercantilism became popularized, governments began to create monopoly corporations on certain trades and industries. Some of these firms such as the East India Company and Hudson Bay Company became so powerful they effectively ruled over the territory.

During the Gilded Age with the rise of Industrial Capitalism monopolies and other corporations began to get more influence in the government with corruption being rampant. However, during the Progressive era corruption and influence of corporations in government declined.

Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan in the 1980's many say the United States has been experiencing a constant shift towards Corporatocracy due to more favorable policies given to corporations, corporate influence in government (Lobbying aka legalized bribery), rising income inequality, and the dominance of the workplace by corporations.

[[File:Lemonsoc.png]] Lemon Socialism
Lemon Socialism emerged as a pejorative term for an economic system based on: a government that offers subsidies to weak, bad or bankrupt companies so that they don't end up and remain in the market.

[[File:Soupcap.png]] Supercapitalism
Supercapitalism was a concept created by fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, in which the state would intervene in society so that it was fully standardized, so that companies could know what customers want and customers could consume infinitely.

[[File:Cball-CongoFreeState.png]] Congo Free State Model
The Congo Free State Model was based on the Congo Free State, former colony of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. The economy is based on a state that enslaves black and African populations, so that the enslaved are distributed to corporations and slaves who do not obey would be killed. In general, the Congo Free State economy preaches state interference to protect large corporations that enslave Blacks and Africans.

[[File:Amazon.png]] Bezosism/Amazonism
Bezosism, Amazonism or Amazonization, is based on the relationship between Jeff Bezos and his company Amazon, with the  American government. It is the driest form of the Corporatocracy, preaching that the only state interference in the economy is to give subsidies and forgive some deregulation of private companies.

[[File:Sisolak.png]] Steve Sisolak thought
Steve Sisolak thought believes that local goverments should be run by tech companies. He believes that by letting tech companies do local governance, economic developement and advances in technology would accelerate.

Mega Corporatocracy
Mega Corporatocracy is an ideology that wants to one corporation controls all aspects of human life, force everyone to only work and consume. There is only one world government that has monopoly for everything. Example of Mega Corporatocracy is Wall-E movie.

Personality
Corporatocracy as a character cares a hell of a lot about getting the maximum amount of money as possible, and unlike certain other people with this trait, corp is very much willing to use organized violence to achieve this goal.

Corp absolutely loves government policies that favor the wealthy to an insane extent, and he is often seen literally worshipping the concepts of Fiat Currency and Intellectual Property as Deities. Because of his love of these policies, he despised any sort of Cryptocurrency or hard currencies and hates the public domain.

Since he thinks the state must serve powerful business owners, he is one of the few ideologies that openly believes that corporate lobbying is a good thing. This is an idea that even most other capitalist ideologies see as unjust (when consistent).
