My partner and I were talking recently about apple watches and how if they existed under a different system then they could really be for the greater good. What are some other things that would have been very good under communism?
This is why I always say that the idea of breaking up Amazon is stupid, and what we need to do is nationalize Amazon. And Walmart too while we’re at it.
Breaking up monopolies is socdem nonsense about “competitivity” and “big business oppressing small businesses”, while having infrastructure from a monopolized company built up is likely to make the transititon to socialism easier.
Exactly. Small businesses are just as evil as bit ones, and economies of scale are real. Walmart and Amazon are amazing feats of logistics and human labor. To be able to go to nearly any town in the country and go to the same store you know that will have most of the items you’ll ever need, or to have those items delivered to your door in a very short time, are amazing things. The problem is the ownership.
