I guess you don't consider economically inhibiting regulatory prohibitions, in place in countries all over the world, that funnel economic activity through politically connected gatekeepers - at massive economic cost to the politically disenfranchised masses, or trillions of dollars in taxation to enrich the political class, or sanctions targeting every person of a particular nationality, or the multitude of market prohibitions, like those on drugs, or socialist policies put in place in countries like Cuba and Venzuela - to be forms of oppression inflicted by those with power on those without. You don't seem to appreciate that it is the ability to transact privately that enables people to circumvent all of the above-mentioned laws.
