Amazon is literally not a private company. It is a publicly traded company, aka owned by the people and run by a dictatorship of proletarianized elites. This also means they are subject to the dictates of Blackrock's Larry Fink, who Bloomberg has dubbed the fourth branch of government due to his access to the money printer. To put this into more libertarian terms, corporations as entities are created and enforced by state power, and are thus definitionally state enforced monopolies. Furthermore, Amazon has a peculiar subsidy in the form of USPS delivering their products at substantially below standard rates, which makes it an extension of the state apparatus.

tl;dr Amazon is indistinguishable from the State.
