In an open market of ideas, critiques should always be welcome. Pigeonholing critiques of capitalism as automatic support for "socialism" is the opposite. Capitalism is basically a first step towards sanity, not some panacea.
For example, you go on to bemoan authoritarianism. But a corporation is an authoritarian structure, and your critique most certainly applies. The redeeming bits are that they're generally smaller scale than a country, and that there is often a higher level power structure that can moderate its worst incentives. But the same obtuse aloofness/politicking/groupthink do apply, as caricatured by the linked post.
