When people use the words "corporatocracy" and "crony capitalism" are they?

talking about the same thing while talking past each other?

Update:

@Entropy: I used the word that I have seen others use. I know it is not a real word or term but it is the one some people who claim to be educated use. But I gather you think they mean corporatism and not political corruption. I think cronyism is corruption.

Do you think that people who use the word "corptocracy" think that corporations make the law or that politicians do?

    Corporatocracy is not a word or term. Corporatism is, but it doesn't mean what most of the people who us it thinks it means. Crony capitalism isn't RULE by corporation, so much as it is simply on aspect of political corruption.

    Corporate socialism is what I'd call it.

    We are just following Julius Caesar's playbook.

    Bread and circuses for the masses. The ruling class (those who control most, but not all, big corporations and other big organizations) have the power and the wealth.
