Many of those who claim to hate free market capitalism just hate their lives and want to blame someone else for it. Amusingly enough, in a dark way, many corporations are run like they were communistic organizations:

  • centralized control
  • strong hierarchies, most benefits go to the top
  • collective resources
  • economic planning
  • reduced autonomy of individuals inside the organization
  • propaganda, both internal and external

Perhaps marxist-leninists should just join corporations and get a reasonable approximation of everything they want ;) For me personally, it makes a lot of sense to hate/distrust corporations but not so much sense to hate free market capitalism.

I agree. Corporations are indeed similar to communist planned economy model in this regard. Free market is not. People vote with they wallets after all. Stop paying half eaten apple if you hate their practice. Stop paying for certain OS if you can get community developed Linux etc... in the end It's about people weighting their comfort vs making things better.
Sometimes state has to help them by regulations. But Free market is still way better then commies.
