Giant tech companies, particularly those controlling the flow of information on the internet, are marching toward the creation of their own brand of a socialist system, says Michael Rectenwald, a former liberal studies professor at New York University and author of “Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom.”
Corporations such as Google and Facebook have aligned themselves with leftist, progressive ideology and have practiced what Rectenwald calls “corporate leftism,” an ideology that, in practice, bears some resemblance to the totalitarian system practiced by the communist regime in China.
