The free market exists despite State suppression. The extent to which it flourishes is a matter of the faith of market actors in the State and their belief in it's authority.
I believe that the market is right now a sleeping giant that is more powerful than the State. That is to say the number of market participants far exceeded the ruling class and affiliates.
love it
The market participants far exceed the ruling class and affiliates, however the ruling class effectively manipulates the market where it sees fit, therefor it is not free.
Its like saying we have democracy. No we have capitalism. Protection and cooperation by the ruling class for the corporations not for all participants. Merger of state and corporate enterprise. The definition of fascism and late stage capitalism.
