Define "corporate socialism"
What has lobbying, bribing politicians and getting corporation-friendly rules through (to the disadvantage of the workers), to do with "socialism"? I would define this as "locust capitalism", if at all.

What we have is what "capitalism" becomes, everywhere and always, after a few years. Like communism and dictatorship.
Initially it may have been a good idea, but it does not work in the long run. And the result has not much to do with the initial "..ism".
