The biggest employer in the world (bigger than the populations of some countries) is the US federal government. If that's not a command economy, it's not far off.

Those are service jobs, not the means of production, which is the explicit focus of Communism. We also have the highest concentration of private billionaires in the world. And the government politicians we elect have their campaigns financed by private superPAC funds from private corporations and billionaires.

What the WEF and their cronies want is literally the inverse of Communism. In communism the government owns all the corporations, in WEF ideology the Corporations and private elites control the government, and the public does NOT own the means of production.

I will grant that these ideas are similar in that they both give one entity the combined powers of economic production and governance, which historically has been a very bad idea, Communism included, but there are some important differences between Communism and the new economic ideology of the evil elite, primarily in who the entity is that has all this power. At least in Communism this entity is theoretically elected by the public, although it never works that way. In WEF ideology, their isn't even the illusion that the people are in control
