The existence of different modes of production is an absurd and false dichotomy. Worker co-ops exist today. People are free to make them, and join them if the co-ops will take them.
And by socialist system with a free market do you mean one where private ownership of the modes of production remains legal, but simply isn't chosen, or do you consider banning private ownership compatible with free markets?
- Gud 9mo agoPeople aren’t free to make them unless they have the capital. This is a completely bogus statement.

I would consider public ownership but not state ownership compatible with free markets. The only essential element for free markets is competition with sufficiently low regulation. Some socialist ideologies are inherently incompatible with markets, some are not. E.g. libertarian Marxism and other form of libterian socialism are, because they reject centralised government entirely.
