Charlie, my take on this is that unbridled capitalism has teamed up with 
government to completely control the market and mandate by legislation 
the use of its products, rather than bother to compete with other 
companies on quality.

The end result might as well be communism, except the big corporations 
replace the Party as the controllers of industry.

In this context a raft of 'social' and 'environmental' legislation that 
only large corporates can afford to implement, drives out all the mom 
and pop businesses.
I've seen this absolutely happen in the UK and Germany at least. 
Manufacturers collude with the EU or the UK government to bring in 
legislation for 'new' 'green'  products *they* have just developed - but 
no one else has.

'social' legislation like oppressive health and safety is impossible for 
a one or two man business to implement. Minimum wages mean the jobs move 
overseas.

Siemens, purveyors of windmills, donated billions to UK political 
parties. And for all I know, politicians.

The anti capitalist groups are *funded* by those corporate capitalist 
interests to attack their competitors. Viz Nuclear power.

They *are* the people they are warning you about.

Humanity only needs to be not so completely idiotic that a few men and 
women manage to produce the next generation.

The problem today is that in a technological society they don't have to 
try very hard, which leaves enormous potential to fill their heads with 
carefully crafted bullshit and sell them products that never knew they 
didn't want and certainly do not need.

And thereby transfer even more personal  wealth into the hands of big 
corporations.
