Sure, as a theory capitalism is just a free market but I obviously mean capitalism as it exists today and shapes our entire world. And socialism has it's own can of worms, sure.

But what I was responding to in particular with my original comment was the parent commenters claim that "It’s just business" and that engaging in capitalism means you must inherently engage in the practices the OP was complaining about.

They didn't mention capitalism, "it's just business" just means that's how it goes.

If the government owned the company OP works at, it would still be "just business" according to the commenter.
