So he is blaming the evil of the world on voluntary institutes convincing people to voluntarily purchase their goods and services?

I don't really see the argument.

I'm generally a fan of capitalism, though it certainly has its drawbacks. If I was to say that capitalism had a negative effect on our mental state, it would be that sometimes I feel as though living in a society filled with the competitiveness drive of capitalism has caused us to become competitive when we don't need to be.

Which is a false dichotomy if you're asserting that those are the only two options.

Again, false dichotomy.

The options are not either the government chooses where we live or rampant exploitation.

The options are not either the government chooses where we live or soldiers return home to rat infested public housing.

Look at the Native American cultures. No all powerful government. No exploitation. And that's just off the top of my head.
