Corporatism is just another system in which some people band together to lord it over other people. Just like every political system. But life is about living, not ruling, not about being subjugated.
Living above mere survival requires access to affordable goods and services, all of which can be had by freely buying and selling among free people. Government does not really have a necessary role in this.
Free people contracting with other free people is called, 'doing business', just buying and selling as circumstances permit. Free people actually live in an endless pursuit of happiness. Ruled people live endeavoring to avoid punishment from their masters. Sadly, we are all ruled by the current system of things, and we are thereby forced into compliance and submission. It should be and could be otherwise.
People would get tired of getting screwed over by corporations. Like when they hire cheap foreign labor. Corporatism will always fail.
I am enjoying this conversation.
A corporation is only an association with a financial application. It is not good or evil more so than its actions. Just like people, it can do good but it can do bad. The key is this: Does it perform coercively? If so, then it sucks. If it is a provider of goods and services then it is a blessing.
Hiring cheap foreign labor is not criminal, BTW. You are free to buy and sell with foreigners, no problem. Companies may contract with anybody they wish for performance services. No corporation 'owes' you a living.
People get sick of getting screwed over though. Record wealth accumulates in a few hands✡, workers get paid shit, then they wake up and grab pitchforks.
