To start, if you're not an "essential" worker you are on lock step lock down. So much for a free market.

Here in Canada we have the most red tape in the world. Opening a small business it no small task.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a free market. I'm saying there isn't. Whether it's tariffs or taxes or whatever, there is no such thing as an authentically anarchist market, aside from the now defunct dark net Silk Road Market and its imitators (largely infiltrated). It's a noble goal to aspire to and falling short of absolute greatness is still pretty great. But the ruling class won't have it, except for themselves - but those aren't free markets either as they're all rigged in their favour.

And now the capitalists and communists are merging as the ruling class oligarchs swallow the world while crushing everyone else with their manufactured crisis and stupid police state.
