The "corporate communism" term has gotten quite a bit of attention, so it seem worth reading. I object to his misuse of the word communism to refer to the symptoms of a combination of totalitarianism and bureaucracy in a centrally controlled state. This makes it a bit hard for me to read.

The basic claim is that oligopolies of large corporations have essentially become a controlling government that stifles competition, protects wealth, and prevents government from protecting ordinary people. That is a strong message that does not require destroying the meaning of the word "communism."
