Who was the last president who wasn't a "corporatist" ?
According to "elite" theory you can make an argument all of them were.

14. Pretty much everything we do every day has a connection to
corporate capitalism, including what I am doing at this moment - writing a post on DU. Throughout the day, capitalism will affect almost everything I do, since I am not self-sufficient in any aspect of my life. It's 0 degrees outside today. If it weren't for the natural gas powering my furnace, I would face almost insurmountable problems with simply staying alive. Both the gas and the furnace are products of corporations. The cup of coffee I am drinking has a long, complex history, all corporate, and even the coffee maker was manufactured by a corporation. Coffee doesn't grow in Minnesota, so without corporate involvement, I would have any to drink in the first place.
I could go on and on, listing my activities for the day, and every one of them would have links to capitalism and corporations.
I could live without those connections. I have the skills and experience to obtain my own food, construct shelter, and do most other things. I would not enjoy living that way, however and, at age 69, I wouldn't be able to maintain that for very long at all.
Now, I must resume my work, which is creating the content for a website owned by a corporation. A small corporation, but a corporation nevertheless. If I don't, I won't be paid, and won't be able to purchase the things I need to continue my life. I'm inexorably tied to capitalism. And there it is. Politically, I will work for and vote for those who will try to control the hold of capitalism and corporations on my life, but I do not expect any politician to remove capitalism from the equation. That would be impossible in a nation of 300 some odd million people. It's not happening.
Mineral DUmmie is such a commie at heart.

DUmbasses throw the word around like a drunken blog writer throws candy around at a girls schoolyard but what the hell exactly is a "corportist"?
I guess it is anyone that is not a marxist.

No. The people pulling his strings are. He's too lazy, rather dull-witted when his telewoobie is broken and relies exclusively on practiced bromides, remembered from late night, dorm room bong sessions.

It's been their catch-all for awhile now. Way deep down in the muck and goo of their skulls they have an inkling that Socialism just doesn't work without a vigorous Free Market to support it. The double digit wunderkinds never will. they just repeat "tAxdUhrICh!!" elEbInty!!11 and wet themselves, but the halfway sane ones find that they have to make a distinction between the evil Capitalist (corPorAtIsT!!!111!) and the ....... ::) benevolent Liberal Capitalist whom they consider the Socialist ( :stoner: ).
None of them understand that, MATH!!, has the final say.
