said by SLD:Actually, the corporatism of today is quite un-American. The idea of headless sociopaths circumventing the representative nature of our democracy is sickening.
I believe a case could be made that American corporations today are a throwback to pre-Revolutionary colonialism, where the corporations were appointed by the State to spread out into "uncivilized" territory to bring natural resources into the State treasury (at the expense of the local natives, who were subjugated, and their own nationals, who were equally exploited by those corporations). Or something like that.
