"The free market doesnтАЩt exist. Every market has some rules and boundaries that restrict freedom of choice. A market looks free only because we so unconditionally accept its underlying restrictions that we fail to see them. How тАШfreeтАЩ a market is cannot be objectively defined. It is a political definition."
"The usual claim by free-market economists that they are trying to defend the market from politically motivated interference by the government is false. Government is always involved and those free-marketeers are as politically motivated as anyone. Overcoming the myth that there is such a thing as an objectively defined тАШfree marketтАЩ is the first step towards understanding capitalism."

Capitalism = Good.
Socialism = Bad!
As long as capitalism is pure, without government interference, your statement is 100% correct. Free markets run themselves.
There is no such thing in the real World as a "Free Market", John.
