If you think amazon with a nuke would ever allow a "free market" you're naive.

Yeah it'll be a very interesting form of capitalism. Corps exist to turn money into more money. Since the state is now a biz, it can't run deficits/losses anymore. This implies no one will have any money since taxes > spending permanently. This can only be sustainable if profits are generated externally from foreign sector. But this also means not all countries can run profits.
