Unfortunately, my anecdotal observation is the ideologies of both communism and capitalism end up at the same ultimate destination: giant monopolies that that are laws unto themselves, and everyone just to accept whatever comes out of the sausage machine. Most importantly the, customer becomes the product, that is the customer is in the service of the monopoly, not the other way around.
