      Capitalism = free market. Unfortunately. The current system works perfectly. It is not sustainable and the rich get corrupted more and more, but that’s capitalism for ya.

      Fair? What’s that? That doesn’t exist in nature or in greedy man. Fair is a societal construct. Paper beats rock, money beats fair.

          Both definitions of free market (because regulations are never watertight), and the current system, result in the same current oligopily. So okay, maybe you can argue the semantics, the point remains: shouting for ‘free market’ does not solve the inherent, systemic issue of our current situation.
