I don't think that is what free markets mean at all.

Oh, well what is your definition of free markets? Or hell, what is your definition of free?
I agree with those definitions but unrestricted doesn't mean you can assault someone to take their property.....it means no government intervention.
Unfortunately my friend, “free” and “free markets” mean exactly that.
Ever heard the phrase “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
I know it sucks, but you my friend are defending a position you do not know so well.
You have to have a governing body or a group of consenting peoples to rules for capitalism to exist. Those things are called government intervention. Who defends your property rights now?
I don't see how having a government that enforces private property rights prevents having a free market.
Does any of these definitions work?
