CORPORATE COMMUNISM: Feeling Good Doing Evil—Reclaiming Free Speech and Common Sense

By: Maret Jaks

"Under capitalism, man oppresses man. Under communism, it's the other way around."
-Polish joke during Soviet times

Born in the shadow of the Soviet Empire, Maret Jaks watched communism shatter her family. Her grandfather was "disappeared" to Siberia; her mother fled Estonia as a child. Now she warns that the West faces a subtler tyranny: corporate communism.

Today's threat doesn't arrive with tanks or gulags. It comes from the merger of state power and concentrated capital that wraps control in the language of kindness, equity, safety, and saving the planet. Compelled speech, ESG and DEI mandates, and rushed climate policies raise food and energy costs, hollow out the middle class, and punish dissent. Ordinary people feel virtuous for going along.

Drawing on family history and Western policy from Tiananmen to Davos to police arresting people for tweets, Jaks shows how well-meaning citizens become accomplices. Then she offers a way out: reclaim free speech as non-negotiable, restore regulated capitalism, reject identity politics, and start honest conversations.

Silence is not kindness. It is surrender.
