Hmm, what corporations are sending these “jack booted thugs” to kick in peoples’ doors and deprive them of their liberties?

Not yet, but that will eventually come if we keep going in this direction. More to the point, these corporations will control the government (we already have a lot of that going on) and through it, the Jack booted thugs will march to whatever need these corporations have.

Sorry, but a company expanding market share because they are able to deliver better products and services at better prices is not fascism, or whatever cute phrase you want to substitute for fascism.

You are really stuck on that "free market" theology. Well the father of this "free market" stuff was Adam Smith, and I strongly urge you to read what he had to say about monopolies and how they come to be. Read "Wealth of Nations", especially the parts about cornering markets and creating Monopolies.

You are speaking in the manner of someone that does not comprehend the threat that monopolies constitute.

“Not yet, but...” “will eventually come...” “will control...” “will march...”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything is “will”, “will”, “will” because you’re just fantasizing based on your fears, rather than the actual current reality.

“You are really stuck on that “free market” theology.”

You’re calling capitalism a “theology”, derisively, on FR? Wrong website, man.

“You are speaking in the manner of someone that does not comprehend the threat that monopolies constitute.”

I’ve never said they don’t pose a threat, but people like you use the specter of monopolies simply to bash any successful business they don’t like, even when they are far from approaching the definition of a monopoly. I guess you think it makes you sound less like a leftist.
