Corporatism: "The control of a state or organization by large interest groups."
Example: "Fascism was the high point of corporatism."
A political party, labor union, or a grouping of the members of the wealthy power elite, such as a "round table group" (NGO), is an interest group. The UN and EU are very good examples of controlled authority, as well as any corporate state/government being controlled by the same groups. This is why FDR stated that he admired Mussolini's fascism. It was FDR who helped create the UN, which originated with the Lend-Lease Plan, before it was revealed to the public and organized as an official world authority. The UN is controlled by corporate interests.
You might also find that Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler were controlled by large corporate interests, outside of Russia, Italy, and Germany, and thus, so were their governments instead of the other way around. Marx was also an elitist puppet of the old noble ruling class.
The United States Govt. has also been controlled by a group of the wealthy power elite, especially financiers, since its founding. FDR stated that it started under Jackson, but in reality, it started under Washington, Hamilton, and Jefferson with the war debt, Wall Street, and trade with Europe.

John Roesch: Spot on. However, the word has gained a slightly looser definition since Plato over the complexity of the groups. Anyhow, you are correct, in that these interest groups are all tied to money, labor, industry, and the economy. The problem has always been at either end of it, the moneyed power elite interests, or labor interests. One is as radical and reactionary as the other, but in some instances, they have worked together to achieve their control. However, generally, it is the moneyed power elite interest groups that rule the roost and control or make up the leadership in political parties and politicians. The worst examples of this control was in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and in both cases, the control was by moneyed power elite's cliques over the industrial revolution.
This is also tied to "syndicate/syndication," protection rackets, and organized crime.
To make it simple, though, we're talking about NGOs and organized representative groups such as lobbyists.

Jefferson wasn't quite as grand as the history books make him out to be. The Democrats were Jacobins that came to the US and founded the Democrat Clubs, and had infiltrated and joined the Anti-Federalist/Republicans. Jefferson had selected Burr, a radical NY Clintonian Jacobin, as the VP, as well as allowing Madison to bend his opinions on national credit. As a matter of fact, Jefferson was a thorn in Washington's side the entire time Washington was the president. Washington was politically neutral, an independent, and never claimed a party, but he wrote about Jefferson's antics.
Hamilton came up with the plan to convert our war debt into a positive by selling bonds on the debt. That created credit and money (via bonds) and the ability to pay off the debt via tariffs. This led to Hamilton's bank. Needless to say, European banks didn't like the idea, and Burr was in bed with the Europeans. We have been under that system ever since.
When Adams became president, the US was threatened by a French invasion, known as the XYZ affair. Many Jacobin Democrats were in the US military. Washington thought them to be traitorous, and that they would side with the French. Thus, in 1798, the year after Washington left office, Washington wrote to the Sec. of War: "that you could as soon scrub the blackamoor white, as to change the principles of a professed Democrat; and that he will leave nothing unattempted to overturn the Government of this Country." This was stated before Jefferson became president.
The Democrats, who were very friendly with France, were against the actions taken to repay the war debt in full and to print money/bonds, (a bill of credit and an investment device), which would be used for capital for the northern manufacturers. Jefferson was of the Jacobin plantation and commune ideology as was Madison. The French Jacobins were the root of Communism. Communism started in France with Babeuf in the 1790s, long before Marx. It culminated in the Conspiracy of Equals.
Why do you think the moderate and pro-capitalist Republicans split with the Democrats in 1824? Why do you think that Jefferson wrote that Weishaupt and the Illuminati had some good ideas?
