Communism by the back passage

Many many years ago in the UK, Tesco were one of many competing supermarket chains. Then the fad for hypermarkets hit and they got a lead being the first to do it. They started selling other things than groceries. You can buy electronics, hardware, kitchenware, clothes, gardening equipment, travel and hiking stuff, the list is endless. They put almost all the small shops in the UK in the areas they sell out of business. Next they stopped buying these goods off other countries and set up making their own brands in China at cheaper prices, taking the factotries out too. Then they targetted the oil companies opening up petrol stations in their markets, selling "cost price" petrol to attract customers. "Cost price" not even the oil giants can compete with. Then they targeted the banks. With branches closing down, huge queues and millions of disatisfied customers. Why not do your banking at the supermarket checkout, at least you get customer service. Naturally then as with a bank, all financial services follow. Now you go to the hypermarket to get your insurance, mortgages, pensions and loans. Of course why stop there, why not become a gas and electricity provider, offer broadband and take on the mobile phone companies. Tesco travel agents do everything from sell flights to arrange whole package holiday deals. Tesco have now announced they are becoming estate agents.

 

So nowadays I can go to a Tesco shop, fill my car up with petrol, get my groceries, sell my house, rent a flat, buy the furniture, electronics gear ect, have a phone line, broadband, gas and electricity installed. I can withdraw some money from my Tesco bank account, arrange a pension, get insurance and a car loan to buy a car and insure it. Finally I can book a holiday and have a break from Tesco, get away to China to see the Tesco factories...... all without leaving the same shop.

 

The Tesco monster is growing daily. Soon it will have smother and choked the life out of every other business in the country. There will only be one business in the whole country, Tesco. And only one company contributing funds to politicals parties (or party), Tesco.

 

So here's my theory........... Global Corperatisation, naturally develops into Communism.

 

 

 

 

It's no big deal. I live at Tesco apartments, so it won't take but a few minutes. I'll pick up a pizza and some cream soda while I'm out too.... Does anyone need anything while I'm there?

 

 

 

I hope they offer a better social security package for the unemployed and use the Tesco Marines wisely.

 

 

 

 

 

Quite, but stick at it, a bit more training, a dash of sardony and we'll make anarchist of you yet.

 

However to establish a company and keep it profitable is getting very hard and to establish a small family business, or be a sole trader is dying.

 

It's getting only people with already with serious capital can join the capitalist system. The very people that don't need to.

 

For everyone else there is Ebay or disenfranchisement.
