What is happening is the destruction of small business. That is essential to implementing socialism. The State picks the winners and losers based on how beneficial a business is to the state. If it's a benefit to the State, it's an essential business, and it's allowed to continue operating. If it is not a benefit to the State, it is deemed non-essential, and shut down forever.
"Your family business that has been in operation since the 1940s is non-essential, and will be shut down. Anyone caught operating a non-essential business will be thrown in prison. If you don't like being out of work, Walmart is hiring."
You aren’t wrong there. Look at all of the people going around parroting the idea that if people want to work they should just get an essential job. Hell, even these essential jobs don’t seem all that essential when they are still laying off their employees.
And this isn't going to just go away. These draconian government overreaches? They're here to stay. Because we allowed them to stay. The worst we behaved over it was we complained loudly (protests), but ultimately we complied.

Funny enough, all the essential jobs are service jobs. Not to knock people who serve, but a society of only "servants" does not innovate or advance.
We are under socialism RIGHT NOW.
The government controls the means of production. A WOMAN JUST GOT JAILED FOR RUNNING A HAIR SALON.
THIS IS SOCIALISM. RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
