    Free market is a buzzword capitalists use to confuse the reality that capitalism’s basic goal leads to anti-competitive cornering of the market.

      Why do you all think so goofily?

      Either free market is a buzz word and so is liberal, which in this instance is being used as a straw man

      Or they’re both genuinely definable and it’s clear what they mean which makes neither a buzzword they’re just… words.

        Listen, if you can’t tell what is propaganda and what is not you probably shouldn’t bother commenting.

        I was not speaking to the term liberal. It is not a buzzword, but it definitely is a masterful piece of propaganda that masks the reality that everything a liberal “stands for” is instantly thrown out the window when money is involved.

        This is seen in the two-tiered justice, political, and economic systems liberals are so proud of.
