Corporate communism

Corporate communism is a politrickal theory where people would be subject to a communist-like society however instead of being dictated by government, they would be dictated by large corporations. Earl thinks Libertarianism would result in corporate communism, however Joel believes that social democracy would result in corporate communism.
Earl believes that if you let corporations do whatever they want, corporations will create oligopolies and dictate people's consumer behavior due to a lack of competition.
Joel believes that if you sodomize society with taxation, regulations, etc., only large corporations could afford to stay in business (small corporations wouldn't be able to survive unless they sell out to their competitors) and the large corporations would not only dictate people's consumer behavior through oligopolies, but also dictate government by buying out politricksters well beyond the current power of lobbyists.
Corporate communism exists to varying degrees in current society. A prime example would be mainstream proprietary desktop operating systems by Microsloth and Apple, who pretty much dictate the commercial software industry and its standards. The only way out of this is by using Linux.
Same case exists for beer. With InBev and Molson-Coors owning most countries' beer markets, the only way out is going to microbreweries or better yet brewing your own.
Pepsi and Coca-Cola also have an oligopoly on soda...notice they never compete on price?
Only truly free markets could fight corporate communism.
