There's no such thing as capitalism under totalitarianism. The gov just slowly take operational control (through laws/regulations, guidelines and direct pressure) while choosing how much money to keep and who wins or loses. An actual free market would not allow financial lobbying and would heavily restrict the ability for politicians to bounce from elected positions to corporate boards, back and forth.

Matter of fact, eliminating corporations altogether might be the purest form of a free market, because companies shouldn't have special legal protections that sole proprietorships don't have. Ten years ago, lefties used to support me in these kinds of ideas. Now righties and lefties both hate me for thinking this way.
