That is because they are, but in my country 99% of the business number and 70% of the economy are small and medium companies. When MS wants to make kinect or Apple wants to add sound recognition to the Iphone they buy it from small companies.

GM should have collapsed, all the megabanks and companies that were too big to fail show us how central planning works without control.

Some things need central planning(mass production), communism is state capitalism with only one megacompany. That is a supermonopoly.

I have friends that were in communist Russia, if you made -talked something that upset some member of the party(they were God), depending on the offense, you, your sister, your son won't be able to work anywhere(there is only one company after all). Nothing else was needed to control every one.
