I wouldn’t really call it accurate- those two are far from communists- if anything they are for less regulation and state ownership, and by business practices, support a sort of social Darwinism in capitalism whereby one is either well off and a hard working or innovative person, or is a commodity. In Facebookslava- state owns YOU.
The only semi accurate part is the dictator part- but that can be said of most “captains of industry.” And it bears mention that the juggernaut communist leaders of yesteryear mostly all created cults of personality around themselves- a FEW tech moguls have managed this- Jobs comes to mind- but most including the Zuck don’t have such charisma- they have created iconic and integrated brands as opposed to cults centered on them.
So all in all I’d say not very accurate beyond perhaps some passing similarities held by many powerful or wealthy people, and accurate in the sense that many people see these men and their organizations as generally “bad.”
