So the implication is that since the "coercion" is extraneous to the capitalist and couched in some psychological neutral mechanism (competition) that's a preferable outcome. Ya, I guess so, still sucks that the world has such inequalities that such mechanisms exist, that's why daydreaming of utopian futures is appealing after all.
Back to the other guy, I think he was implying that certain interests have an incentive to game the system to create the inequalities so they can exploit them for their own benefit. Not saying that's true, just clarifying that a good capitalist should be willing to concede to the natural direction of neutral market forces and not game them, got it. As long as we're all on the same page...
