Aside from humans, certain animal species are known to exhibit strong corporate social organization, such as penguins.

Corporatist types of community and social interaction are common to many ideologies, including: absolutism, capitalism, conservatism, fascism, liberalism, progressivism, reactionism, social democracy (social corporatism), and syndicalism.
