Totally. I visited East Germany a few times when the wall was still up. The communist planned economies were a lot like corporations: 5 year plans, lots of internal propaganda, power struggles in leadership, total distortion of reality, sociopaths making their way to the top, no acceptance of dissent, metrics that make no sense.
The nice thing about corporations is that they have to be able to make payroll at the end of every month, otherwise they go bankrupt relatively quickly.
Things can get much uglier and be much more protracted for governments.
It's 2025: Many corporations are more funded by investors and lenders, rather than by income from servicing customers on the free market. The investor and lender money is conjured up out of thin air by a Central Committee, oops I mean by capitalistic bankers.
