Ah, my misunderstanding. You were making a general clarification - which is an accurate one - but I thought you seeking more precision in my particular post.

Words are tricksy things, and if they are used in a sloppy way they do indeed lead to sloppy results. At worst, it leads to the increase of what Orwell described as “the streamlined men who think in slogans and talk in bullets”.

I probably was a little vague.

Corporatism is most often used by the Left, but also sometimes by the Right, to refer to “government by business corporations.”

But that’s just not what the term means.

Personally, I think the notion of providing for representative government by occupation rather than locality is not a completely illogical notion. In today’s world, a person’s physical location is not particularly important, and is losing relevance all the time.
