 Something that strikes me about these examples: monopoly capitalism is by no means opposed to socialist or unitarian political principles. Many of the richest capitalist were supportive of Communism. A book was written about the bulshevik connections to wall street but it's name escapes me. Anyway, the point is that the communust bureaucrat and mega corp CEO have something in common: they both want to extend and crystalize their monopoly position and both are willing to use violence via state action to do so.
