The original poster is right to point this out. Outside of the traditional dictionary definition, the term "corporatism" is virtually meaningless. The modern usage which floats around is used exclusively as a pejorative when getting angry about some aspect about the role of corporations, but it's never really defined. Sometimes it's used to mean corporate influence over government. Sometimes it means being "too corporate". Sometimes it just refers to the corporation being the dominant form of business today.
Sure, language drifts, and you are welcome to use the term as they please, but if you expect people to understand you, it's wise to not misuse words.
In the case of this article, I have no idea what the title even means (except that it certainly involves some type of complaining)
