- imperial republic of Walmart -> the motif of emerging businesses behaving like small governments with departments specifically in order to wildly expand over everything like some kind of miniature Dutch empire finding the best part of Africa before anyone else can get it. the act of delivering a workable service at any cost and taking all the losses, until taking as great a territory as possible becomes a way to survive against the threat of other structures taking it. [1] imperial republics of Walmart are not typically broken up because of the way they operate as units against everything else and don't contain clear merger lines. I think the more of these you point out the clearer the nature of capitalism becomes. capitalism is the act of using people as tools to secure frontier empires against other empires, and it always was that way. capitalism is a social-darwinist fight between miniature countable Cultures to determine what kinds of culture are allowed to live and which ones are softly or formally prohibited.
- retail shelves as global empire / retail empire (MDem) -> the motif of retailers always being a kind of star graph connecting to manufacturers that then connect to workers, often in Third World countries; each retailer is a microcosm of the relationship between the United States and other countries itself. "retail empire" is not in the tiny-civilization sense of "imperial republic of Walmart", more in the sense of the global scope of, for instance, the British empire.
