Capitalists hate the free market.

What are you talking about? Capitalists love the free market. It lets them do any underhanded tactic they want to crush competition and form monopolies. Capitalists have always been the ones pushing for a free market. The 'free' is free from regulations. That is not something good for consumers.

Definition wise thats not a "free market" its a market thats regulated in their favor. Its totally correct to say that todays self proclaimed "capitalists" hate free market capitalism, because they could never compete if they didnt constantly get tax payer money shoved up their asses and laws passed that prevents competitors from taking any of their marketshare.
