Corporatism blends socialism & capitalism not by giving each control of different parts of the economy, but by combining socialism's promise of a government guaranteed flow of material goods with capitalism's private ownership & management.

Who owns GM & Chrysler? Who totally runs the student loan program? Obama is no corporatist and the only reason Ron Paul called him one is so he could also hammer the Republicans for what's going on.

Corporatist is another word for fascist.

What does this guy want?

Sometimes he’s right on target,
other times he’s throwing wild pitches over the backstop.

The gov’t controls what cars GM makes (green cars pretty much - just wait and see), the consumer gets stuck with the reen cars, and GM gets the profits nonetheless.

Do you get it now?

BTW, Obamacare is corporatism.

Gov’t controls the flow with the government panels, the “underpriviledged” get taxpayer funded health care, and the Individual Mandate means more profits for the privately owned insurance and pharma corporations.

Socialized costs in exchange for a share of the profits.
