A truly free market is one which allows for slavery and endless resource exploitation as the basis of economic production.
The goal of the capitalist is limitless profit growth, and reducing/eliminating expenditures in labor or raw material is always necessary.

The rules of basketball coerce you into not throwing punches as a defensive tactic, or traveling with the ball.
If basketball functioned like a truly free market, in which everything was fair game in pursuit of point maximization - I could bring a gun on the court and win every time.

I mean communism is superrrrrr fun if you don’t like, own slaves or are a slumlord or a Nazi. Otherwise its gonna be tough for you.
But for the overwhelming majority of people (aka the working class), quality of life improves by like 5000% under a communist political economy.

the night of long knives was literally Hitler purging factions he saw as insufficiently pro-monopoly, pro-finance capital

The Third Reich was a capitalist economy. The victims of the Nazi labor camps were made to work for free creating products for the capitalist government.
Kind of like how US prisoners are forced to create products for their capitalist political economy.

Private property ≠ personal property.
You can own your toothbrush (as i’m sure no one would want to share with your halitosis ass), but not a steel refinery or a shipping port.

Regulating a business or market is inherently coercive. You are placing strictures and constraints on what it is or is not allowed to do.
A truly free market is one which is entirely unregulated, in order to pursue profit maximization at all cost.

Israel has killed and displaced more Palestinians in 18 months than the Third Reich did European Jews in the first 3 years of the Holocaust.
I’m sure that’s not compelling to you either - the only thing you are compelled by is images of dead babies in Gaza, which excite you.

Pretty easy for you to laugh off the words of actual Holocaust survivors, who can easily see the parallels between their experiences and what is happening to Palestinians now.

The US, and both of its major political parties, has been fully fascist since 1945. You live in the nation with the largest concentration camp complex in human history, which spends the most money on it’s military in history, and engages in nationalist ideological indoctrination beginning at birth.

They did not welcome dissent lol. They called political dissidents “antisemitic Hamas supporters” praised police for mass arresting 2.5k campus protesters.
Biden deported more people during his term than Trump, continued building Trump’s border wall, and increased funding to ICE.
