Yup. Central planning breeds monopolies and cartels. Government policies offset and distort natural competition by the use of taxes, subsidies and regulations. Over time these can be expected to favor big corporations that are in bed with government. Favors for favors.

The government in turn benefits from this arrangement. It allows the government to implement society-wide policies via the large corporations it controls. The greater the corporate reach - the greater the reach of government policy implemented by these corporations.

Large corporations thereby become extensions of government and gives the State absolute power over restricting individual liberties and enforce encompassing surveillance, while blaming the 'market'. Of course, the 'market' described above is centrally managed and rigged by the government.
