There are alternative economic systems to American crony capitalism that give people the results they want without having to surrender to their corporate masters. If you take the fact that the system we live in was invented by humans for granted, and assume it's the only way things can ever be, you can easily dupe yourself into believing that it's as natural as breathing. However, just because something is the default choice in modern society doesn't mean it can't be different. I care about this distinction. It might seem pedantic or stupid to some people. Even if you like capitalism, it's important to recognize it as a choice, not a consequence of natural laws.
