Or maybe "we want fully free market for whatever we produce but not for when someone competes for my job"? :)

HN comments usually skew hugely against any kind of regulation and towards "free market will take care of it", except when it comes to jobs and pay it seems.

Yes, that's a good way of putting it. Free market is often a layer of rhetoric on top of arguments for whatever deregulation makes you the most money.

If the comments skew against regulation, I wonder how they skew toward a Communist like me. I don't usually get more than 2 or 3 downvotes, though maybe that's because I don't comment in threads that are very populous.
