RE: Free markets. Free trade. Free people.

It is far from obvious that "capitalism is the solution" (to what?).

In his book "Road to Serfdom", Hayek explained how socialism always inevitably decays (or "evolves") into fascism, but that phenomenon is certainly not limited to socialism. Nowadays it is clearer than ever that capitalism converge on some form of fascism (i.e. state-corporate alliance) as well.
