How is Red Lobster going under related to authoritarianism?

Everything we don't like is authoritarianism

I mean, I guess you can say "the oligarchs and others making decisions have set our economic system up just so that the vulture capitalists are allowed, no encouraged, to barter with our lives" but it's not really authoritarianism. And part of the packaging is why libertarians think economic injustice isn't a big deal (these cooks and waitresses will just find another job, right?). But it's still a different beast. It's late capitalism. A government ban on seafood buffets? That's authoritarianism.
