you straight up called it communist
i've read up on in a bit more, and it seems they did. wall street journal who broke the story said kodak "won" the loan. they still have to pass due diligence screening to actually receive the loan, etc.
but even if it was completely involuntary, that wouldn't be "communism" because kodak doesnt become socially owned. they are still privately run and profits are shared privately.
no. communism has nothing to do with this, at all. communism implies that there is no state. it's literally impossible for it to be a communist move if the state is partnering with a privately owned business.
not by any stretch. it's authoritarian though.
