  Essential Information
Corporate crime, fraud and abuse have become like the weather; everyone is talking about the storm but no one seems able to do anything about it.
When, year after year, the established corporate watchdogs receive their profits or compensation directly or indirectly from the companies they are supposed to be watching, independent judgment fails, corruption increases and conflicts of interest grow among major CEOs and their cliques.
Corporate lobbyists, starting with their abundant cash for political campaigns, have developed a "corporate state" where government lavishes subsidies, inflated contracts, guarantees and research and development and natural resources giveaways on big business -- while denying comparable benefits to individuals and family businesses.

 Corporate State Socialism
But to the extent that the state helps some corporations at the expense of the American taxpayer and the free market, we must agree with the leftists that there is “corporatism” going on.
The concentration of corporate power under the Progressive Era is well documented in Gabriel Kolko’s Triumph of Conservatism, and the Rockefellers made some of their biggest fortunes under that socialist of infamy, Franklin Roosevelt.
Socialism and corporations without the aid of the coercive state are voluntary economic agreements that could conceivably coexist in peace.

 (DV) Mills: It' the Corporate State, Stupid
The structure of fascism is corporatism, or the corporate state.
Failing to understand fascism, as the consolidation of corporate economic and governmental power in the hands of a few, is to completely misunderstand what fascism is. It is the consolidation of this power that produces the demagogues and regimes we understand as fascist ones.
Large corporations are necessary to achieve those governmental and social necessities that small enterprises are incapable of providing.

 Same As It Ever Was: Libertarians Battle the Corporate State by James Ostrowski
The purpose of the corporate state is to deprive the people of their freedom and to concentrate power into the hands of a few large organizations and their leaders.
Thus, the corporate state is a system which concentrates power into the hands of a few for their own benefit and everyone else’s expense.
The only true opponent of the corporate state is the hardcore libertarian movement, by which term I mean to exclude the beltway types, the liberventionists, and people who think the label "libertarian" is fashionable, but don’t really know what it means.

 Corporate State
To a historian, it seems reasonable to conclude that the WTO and the "free trade" policies it was set up to enforce are the most direct threat to democracy and popular sovereignty since the rise of the corporate state under National Socialism in Germany in the late 1930s.
The WTO was set up as a forum in which transnational corporations can challenge and effectively repeal restrictions imposed upon them by nations (or by sub-governments within nations).
However, a group of 550 U.S. corporations calling themselves the National Foreign Trade Council beat them to the punch and sued Massachusetts in a state court, arguing that the Constitution reserves foreign policy decisions to the Executive Branch of the federal government.

 Libertarian Cover for the Corporate State by Murray N. Rothbard
We have been getting inured to both parties and both sets of rulers having the same policies; but now it looks as if the very same people continue in power, regardless of who happens to be chosen by the public.
And finally, Nixon-Cornuellism has the smell of the burgeoning corporate state – the political economy of fascism –; which has increasingly marked the American system.
It is the "enlightened" corporate state where nothing is any longer distinctively "private" or "public"; everything is cozily mixed, in an ever-intensifying "partnership" of Big Government and Big Business (with Big Unionism as the happy junior partner).
