Wrong!

Capitalism is a static pattern of Value. The "Free Market" is dynamic and is the tool that
capitalism has latched onto.

What is referred to as a "Free" market is not free at all but constrained and interfered
with by mainly capitalistic systems - i.e. USA, UK and Europe in general (think Trade
tariffs) and all the major corporate world players. I would be absolutely delighted if
someone would introduce me to a real "Free" market and not the castrated joke that
currently passes for it.

In fact capitalism is not even too happy about a "Free" market as this would allow a level
playing field - something many nations have been trying to attain for many years - but
unfortunately this is unlikely to happen as the corporate/national interests will hamper
any attempt at a truly free market.

Does anyone here actually believe that the likes of Microsoft et.al. want the sort of
competition that is a feature of a "Free" market?
