Under capitalism, man oppresses man. Under communism, it's the other way around.-Polish joke from Soviet times
In
Corporate Communism: Feeling Good Doing Evil, Maret Jaks delivers a fearless warning from someone whose family endured the brutality of Soviet communism. She sees the West now adopting the same tools that once shattered her family: compelled speech, identity hierarchies, centralized control, and utopian promises that mask raw power grabs.
Today's threat doesn't arrive with tanks or gulags. It arrives dressed in corporate slogans, ESG scores, BlackRock directives, "stakeholder capitalism," climate deadlines plucked from thin air, and feel-good campaigns that enrich the powerful while hollowing out the middle class.
With sharp analysis, personal stories, and unflinching honesty, Jaks shows how our kindness is being weaponized-how ordinary people are led to feel good while doing evil.
Drawing on history, economics, and her own family's experience, Jaks argues that corporate communism is the stealth ideology of our age. She shows why reclaiming free speech, merit, regulated capitalism, and honest conversation is the only path back to freedom.
The West's new ruling class grows stronger each time they spin their stories and we stay polite and silent.
