An entrepreneur fills orders to customer demand at the point of sale. A political ruler orders you to meet his demands, at the pointof a gun. -- In response to the Marxist trope: "replacing the aristorcrat with the capitalist does nothing to end violence and agression.

I remember that time Ronald McDonald kicked in my door. The Hamburgler rushed in and tossed 4 dozen Big Mac's on my living room floor. Mayor McCheese was demanding I fork over $2,000 for the food product I never wanted in the first place, or he would force me to labor for 6 months over a deep frier at the local shop. Grimace was grinning menacingly my way, daring me to cause trouble!

How in the world could I explain tomorrow to Jeff Bezos that I have no money left for the mandatory drone drop of hot pockets? Surely he will drop some bombs on my neighborhood instead for such a transgression!

Of course, this doesn't happen, because economic relationships are not political relationships. An entrepreneur fills orders to customer demand at the point of sale. A political ruler orders you to meet his demands, at the pointof a gun.
