"Do you think it would be harder for people to ignore the plight of the Third World worker if someone made a reality show about it?" "A show about people forced to live on the bare minimum because selfish governments allow corporations to exploit their workers for next to nothing." "Do you think people would see a show like this and want to change their spending habits and in turn force corporations to change their labor practices?" "Would we be able to text vote for our favorite sweatshop?" "Now I'm extra sad."

Yes, “that is market economics where profit is king and the corporation is protected by govt.” Couldn’t have put it better myself.
“Free markets” is a redundancy. When people are free to earn, produce, buy, sell, trade, save, invest, etc., capitalism is the economic system that results. No one can oppose capitalism without opposing freedom.
As for profit being king, that is true but only within the business environment. In the wider economic realm, productivity is king. In the yet wider realm of political science, the rights of the individual is king. To be against capitalism is to be against rights.
As for abuses by Walmart or anyone else, coercion has no part in a free market. I would condemn (and convict) the perpetrators, but I that doesn’t justify condemning all of Walmart, let alone the capitalist system.
So, Nighty, how did you become an anti-capitalist?
