Funny... I never used the words evil, enemy, or in anyway implied that these things were bad. You are reading all of this into the word competition.

Labor Unions v. Corporations: what do you consider it when one party tries for lower wages and the other tries for higher? I call it a competition to see who wins.

The part about being in competition with me is when I purchase something, part of that price is labor. I am trying to get the lowest price while the worker is trying to get paid as much as they can. Again, I am not saying this is wrong or in anyway bad. But the end of this little competition is set by the free market. The product I am buying has a market value. The company can afford to pay a worker X for that product.

Co-ops and group buys: You are missing my point. I did not say they were bad only that there is competition going on. The competition as I see it is between which party has more value to offer. That party gets to set the rules, price, ect.
