State Capture
Crony Capitalism
NO Free market at all. Carefully regulated market

As I said, this is not my definition of free markets, this is my
definition of early stage socialism. And since this, as per your
message, seems to be what you mean with free markets, we will just talk
past each other.
 

Yup.  Its a bastrdised blend of fascism oligarchy and Maexism
The big money uses Marxist socialist ideology and metaphysics to sell the idea of benevolent state control to the  Liberal chatterati.
Meanwhile the peasants get fucked as per usual.

What I do find interesting though, is that we see a lot of the same
problems, but we land in dramatically different solutions.

Indeed. I see the retreat of the State from such an overwhelming presence as being the only way to actually workout what works, by a less regulated market.
Unfortunately many societies that have faced this in the past ended up with  complete collapse and a regression back to a lot less civilisation
