Do not confuse forms of governance intended for whole societies with those that work for smaller, more controlled and more selective organizations.

Walmart cannot be compared to the USA or China for sure, but your criticism is a little pedantic and presumptuous. There are national economies that are in the same order of magnitude as, or smaller than, that of Walmart's.

As context, if my numbers are right, then at ~$550B annual revenue Walmart would be around the GDP of Belgium and Thailand.
Or about the 25th largest economy in the world, if looking at it that way.
And it's a better corporate analogy than most, considering it essentially does everything from retail to services.
