Pet peave time...

The practical definition of any "ism" is supremacy of that ism. Capitalism, Corporatism, Oligarchism are all related supremacies that makes both labour and consumers oppressed. The fundamental feature of America is that + Zionism which makes tax payers and terrorist victims oppressed.

Markets themselves are not evil. An html coder, tailor, or cobbler can help you for a fair price, and it is not the supremacy of tax evading conglomerates problem, that makes "free and fair markets" evil in of themselves. Centralized government services that impose higher prices, and less choice/availability are not going to be better alternatives for you than doing it yourself.

Understand the problem in society to hope to solve it, before somewhat overgeneralized complaint is made. None of the example "trades" mentioned are oligarchist extortion controlled.
