  > I dont understand this free markets thing It’s dog whistling for the rentiers. It doesn’t actually exist in the shape that people often think it does. People really think that it’s all about non-government interference within the markets but after 08 and the bajilion other once in a lifetime market meltdowns, I don’t know how anyone can say that this fairytale version of the free market exists. It doesn’t exist and if you’re working class and you think it does you aren’t serving yourself. The free market is one that is free from economic rent.
