By definition corporatism doesn't exist without the state. I'm not necessarily anarcho-capitalist. I'm just making an argument which system is more moral at its core. Although I do think that as technology advances, government will become less relevant in a capitalist society.

If you want to make the argument that the symbolism of us leaving is damaging, then fine - I can support that. But the actual ramifications of us leaving are meaningless. Actually - I'd say it's resulted in a good outcome: the American people and businesses are upset, and the US doesn't commit to transferring US wealth to subsidize other countries to achieve a truly meaningless outcome.
Not much. Much less than the oi companies get.
He's gotten $4.9B in subsidies. PayPal, First Solar, and Tesla are worth over $130B combined. And that's not even including SpaceX.
Having said that, if your argument is that government subsidies help these businesses (tax cuts) innovate... then why wouldn't you support massive corporate and individual tax cuts?
I think it's really good politics to criticize the government on this deal, bc the public sees the headline and thinks it's a bad deal. There are no repercussions for condemning the move.
There is also clear interest for massive companies to want the US to commit to these things, because they can comply with massive & expensive regulations whereas up and coming competitors struggle to do so
The survey conducted between June 2 and 4 found 57% of registered voters who were surveyed oppose the decision to leave, while 33% support it.

Explain this, or actually define corporatism—whichever you prefer. If you just mean that governments issue certificates of incorporation, which enjoin companies to certain stipulations and also confer certain benefits—well that's a pretty tautological definition that isn't how most people would understand "corporatism".
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
That's not the generally understood meaning of "corporatism" (sociopolitical organization around large mutually-interested groups), but I'm fine if you want to proceed with it for the purposes of this discussion.
In our system, it most certainly is an instantiation of capitalism—even if it isn't the mostly-unfettered, minimal-state-apparatus capitalism that (I believe?) you want, nor the pure, totally stateless anarcho-capitalist version that we all know weso secretly wants. But it's still a form of capitalism.
Nonetheless, I'd love to read how either of these purer capitalist formulations would assuage this wealth-gap that you assure me is the product of the interventionist bugaboo (and not, as I surmise, a result of the unrelenting profit-motive baked into capitalism's core structuring).
