Not picking on you in particular you are just an example of an attitude which assumes that we either have complete freedom for businesses to do as they wish or (gasp!) "communism" with state control. The "law of the excluded middle" springs to mind.

There are plenty of examples of state regulation in the greater interest, pharmaceuticals being an obvious example, road safety another. It is not in the greater interest of society to allow businesses to trample over each other or to do as they wish.

Amazon is acting to the detriment of a large number of industries and ultimately to people in general by stifling competition and by being monopolistic and abusive.
