Not libertarian, certainly not corporatist. Freedom is a product, a construct some would say. Best definition of which I am aware:
FREEDOM = A societal structure in which all property is 100% protected.
PROPERTY = Your life and all non-procreative derivatives of your life.
Upon this, a great civilization can be created, a civilization that will endure and in which all right-thinking people can prosper and thrive.
Oh no. Corporatism is just another way in which people band together to lord it over everyone else. But I say, nobody should rule over anybody else, not ever. Life is about living and that requires affordable access to goods and services. Free people interact via voluntary, mutually agreeable contracting. Nowhere does government have a needed role in any of this. Free people live in the pursuit of happiness. "Governed" people live in an endless attempt to avoid being harmed by the system. Sadly, we are all "governed" and it stings. We are not who we might have become in a more sane social structure.
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.
