Megacorporatism

Megacorporatism is an Ideology, which justifies and advocates the rule of Megacorporations. Megacorporatism is the Ideology of the Ikradon Megacorporation, first expoused by Simon Patrick.

A Megacorporation is a massive conglomerate holding monopolistic or near monopolistic control over multiple markets, thus exhiniting both a horizontal and a vertical monopoly.

Megacorporations are so powerful that they can ignore the law, possess their own heavily-armed (often military-sized) private armies, hold 'soverign' territory, and possibly even act as outright governments.

Megacorporations often exercise a large degree of control over their employees, taking the idea of 'corporate culture' to an extreme.

Megacorporations are amoral, operating purely out of a desire to achieve productivity, profit and efficiency in the same way a machine would.

Megacorporations aim to establish a 'Corporatocracy' where they 'own' of have massive power over governments, including ones nominally elected by the people. A 'Corporatocracy' is a system of government that serves the interests of, and may even be run by, corporations and involves ties between government and bussiness. this is to ensure that conflicts within society are resolved in favour of corporations.

They exercise power through their enourmous concentrated economic power, and by legal in-the-open mechanisms, such as lobbyists, campign contributions to office holders and candidates, threats to leave the state or country for another with less oversight and more subsidies etc.
