#2  Except for the gummint subsidies (cheap delivery via failing USPS) Amazon is as close to a pure capitalist play as you can find nowadays. Owner super rich. Workers at the bottom really just scraping by. If the cyber left was looking for a target appropriate to their beliefs, they picked the right one.
