Too many people conflate the evils of corporatism and corruption with the general concept of "capitalism"/a market economy.
Now, I'm hardly an advocate of laissez-faire economics. But I'm not a full-on socialist either. I think the majority of problems people attribute to modern market economies can be corrected with aggressive anti-trust and pro-consumer regulation.
(The keyword here is majority. I'm sure it makes sense to socialize some things, but those details are best left to people smarter than me.)
