If "corporatism" is the name of the condition, then free-market capitalism is the virus that causes the infection.

  Indeed, I purposefully compare 'free market people' with Communists, both live in an imaginary world where human relationships are mechanistic like APIs. In their world everything is perfectly rational, there is no such thing as imbalance of power, market leverage, collusion between competitors, etc. In modern concience people clearly understand how an all-powerfull state can turn tyranical, but when an all-powerfull company turns tyranical it's always a surprise! So you will get "let free market do it's thing without government interference, remove safeguards, guardrails and regulation." Then free market finds that the best way to make money is to form cartels or illegally abuse people who can't afford a layer, or to sell digital eyeballs and organs that require a subscribtion to work and it's a surprised picachu face all over again For some reason these people are madly in love with a system that is basically just natural selection / evolution. They go around saying how planning is pointless because you can't be wiser than evolution is anyway. They seem to forget that evolution had 6 mass extinctions and that 99.9% of all specieces have gone extinct.
