Amazon Under Threat of Being Broken Up by Leftist FTC

The FTC has announced it is nearing completion of its antitrust lawsuit aimed at Amazon. According to Politico, “The FTC has been investigating the company on a number of fronts, and the coming case would be one of the most aggressive and high-profile moves in the Biden administration’s rocky effort to tame the power of tech giants. The wide-ranging lawsuit is expected as soon as August, and will likely challenge a host of Amazon’s business practices, said the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss a confidential matter. If successful, it could lead to a court-ordered restructuring of the $1.3 trillion empire and define the legacy of FTC Chair Lina Khan.”

Amazon and its fearful leader Jeff Bezos have gone all-in with the DNC-CCP’s gender fascism and race terrorism, and has been a healthy contributor to the seditious party, the Democratic Party. The move by the Democrat-infested FTC should serve as a warning to all the “allies” of this corrupt power-mad party. No matter how loyal you are to the party, if it serves the party’s interests to destroy you, it will.

Not that this writer has much sympathy for the media/retail giant. They supported this leftist ideology, now, let them face the consequences of embracing fear and hate as a lifestyle choice. There are no true allies among leftists, only people to exploit to your own end and spit out when they’re no longer needed.

As for the efficacy of the suit itself, this writer remains opposed to empowering the state to define what a monopoly is, and having the power to bust them up., The real issue is not that monopolies exist but that they are violating the spirit and intent of the constitution of the nation that created the opportunities they had to become monopolies in the first place.

The left is good at exploiting a problem they created to roll back more freedoms for all Americans in the interest of ending the threat they themselves created. In this case, Amazon’s monopolistic powers are being used to undermine the republic itself, which is the real problem. If we want to end monopoly power to violate our constitutional rights and values, we should prosecute them for breaking existing laws rather than establish a precedent that the government can centrally plan our economy.
