Well, I think you are overthinking what I said. I just said a plan economy is muchbcloser to tightly regulated market than a free market, trying to highlight that what OP is advocating is still somewhat a leftist idea.
The reason I think that, if you assume that free market capitalism is defined by absence of conditions of transactions and absence of forces transactions, then a planned economy sounds something like: all transactions are effectively forced, and there a hell of a lot conditions for these transactions.
I understand that they manifest, but it's a good simplification, formthe argument that tool place above, in my opinion.
