And such conditions are created by coercive and socialist governments, not companies like Amazon.


That's where you're wrong. There's one thing that amazon and socialist governments have in common.

They don't give a st about the people.

The government doesn't need to be socialist either it can be a perfectly democratic government that doesn't do anything for its citizens interest and the result would be the same.


Agree with you - they don't give a st about people. But a major difference is that with Amazon (or any company) you have a choice - don't shop with them, don't work for them, convince others to do the same, document their bad-behavior etc.

With a government, there is no alternative choice. And typically socialist governments tend to swing towards totalitarianism as well, depriving their citizens of many other rights and freedoms.
