No, I’d say we’re talking about the business philosophy McDonald’s founded. Although this version is more extreme, a movie called Food Inc pretty much covered the same changes in the food industry we have.
Sure – the Romans had paved roads, restaurants (because most people only had 1 room to live in, and no kitchen!) and police (the “cohortes urbanae”) over 2,000 years ago
I can’t distinguish the name written on that silo but my guess is Overtaken Chicken and Poultry.
(You know what famous 80’s movie song it’s playing in my mind now)
No. No way: this, as Lenin put it is “Imperialism: the most elevated (or most advanced) stage of Capitalism”, this is how primitive free-marketist capitalist becomes monopolystic capitalism and how the various national monopolystic lobbies (i.e. bourgeois nation-states) then initiate a global mafioso competition for resources and markets, which leads to global war. At least that was how Lenin explained First World War.
Communism has never existed (other than as primitive communism in the pre-civilization stage or very unstable revolutionary attempts: Paris Commune of 1817, Makhnovist Free Zone in East Ukraine in 1918, Iberian Anarchist Revolution of 1936, Kurdish-Arab Rojava Revolution of present day, Zapatista self-ruled communities in Chiapas, etc.) What Capitalists call “communism” is state capitalism or degenerate socialist state, depending on who you read, just because the party labeled itself “communist” and claimed to aspire to the always postponed implementation of communism, it does not mean that their regimes were/are communist: Lenin himself admitted that “we may have failed to achieve communism, but at least we have achieved capitalism”. I know it’s a confusing terminological matter but that’s why I explain it.
Cops? (paved) Roads? Restaurants? Are we still talking about a fantasy world based on medieval times?

I believe that world was “modern” and because of the Company went “Mad Max”… and milenia latter it evolved to medieval/fantasy times.
Local guardsmen, paving, and selling cooked food aren’t all that modern as ideas.
Okay, tarmac in particular was more recently developed, but a specific technique for using crushed rock and tar is not exactly high technology.
Sure – the Romans had paved roads, restaurants (because most people only had 1 room to live in, and no kitchen!) and police (the “cohortes urbanae”) over 2,000 years ago
I dunno, in the previous flashbacks to that world, it looked to be a cross between the medieval world and the regular LoSRHverse.

I believe it says “Chicken Corp.”
The image resolution is high enough to zoom in on it, and it does indeed say that.
So… The company is basically Disney.
I have never tasted Disney’s Fried chicken… Is it good?
Never be a Disney customer. It’s Mouse Code for criminal.
Monopolistic Capitalism 101.
Next chapter: Lenin will explain how this leads to imperialism and war.
I approve.
Lenin, or Lendjinn?
Fair enough, I guess.
So this is how capitalism can transform into communism.
More like capitalist into corporate state.
Still, at least Federal Law will no longer apply here.
Unfortunately, Federal Law will no longer apply here.
Actually, this is more like a Cyberpunk scenario, where huge corporations take the place of government. Without cybernetic technology.
I’m not sure why you think the world of Elite/Frontier isn’t cyberpunk, tbh.

Sounds more like a ‘No True Scotsman’ fallacy to me.
