Revision as of 02:11, 22 October 2020

Not to be confused with Corporatism.

Corporatocracy also called Corpocracy, Crony Capitalism, 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

Corpocracy-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.

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).
