Are Amazon and Wal-Mart Laying the Foundations for Socialism?

I was prepared for this article to be a ridiculous, illuminati- and qanon-reference laden steaming pile of nonsense. It is not.

> Some firms, notably Walmart and and Amazon, are so “vast” that they are in every important respect “planned economies” like the former Soviet Union.

This article appears to be a thoughtful critique of a long-form article from "Jacobin". It's worth a read. You will have to elsewhere for steaming piles of Qanonsense, however.
