Everyone will call you a market socialist because that’s what you want.

Yes.

And despite all your railing against anything resembling a free market, I still don't see any downsides of that.

My problem is you're calling a well regulated market a "free market" when thats universally accepted as the total opposite definiton of the phrase. I dont know why you insist on calling market socialism "free markets". You want market socialism for a free society.

Free markets are antithetical to a free society as you pointed out before.
