Not an oxymoron at all. In communism, Comrade Glorious Leader and the Politburo control both the means of production and the monopoly on legitimate violence. In corporatism, Chief Executive Officer and top shareholders control both the means of production and the monopoly on legitimate violence. Different words, same reality.
(In properly-functioning capitalism, the means of production are split between many independent, competing corporations, and the state uses its monopoly on violence to preserve that competition.)
- Dylan16807 3y ago> Comrade Glorious Leader and the Politburo control both the means of production and the monopoly on legitimate violence. This is not a description of communism.

- Georgelemental 3y agoPretty much every government that calls itself "communist" works that way in practice.
- croes 3y ago>Corporatism does not refer to a political system dominated by large business interests, even though the latter are commonly referred to as "corporations" in modern American vernacular and legal parlance; instead, the correct term for this theoretical system would be corporatocracy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism
