it was always astonishing to me that if you examine any singular modern capitalist corporation on it's own, and comparing it with any so called 'communist' (more precisely: state capitalist, as communism was never really implemented) state, the similarities are striking. both systems are extreme authoritarian, centralized, hierarchical surveillance states; since both systems are hierarchical, both is inherently corrupt and degenerative by design. the only real difference between a capitalist and communist society that in a capitalist society you can freely choose which authoritarian dictatorship (aka corporation) you want to join, while in a so called communist state (again, more precisely: state capitalist) there is only one corporation to work for: the state.
