There is no such thing as free market capitalism. This is why the parent comment said "capitalism" and not "free markets". I assume that's what you meant by putting "free market" in quotes, I'm just making an explicit clarification.

I would say the drug cartels are about as close to free market capitalism as we have today. They are largely unregulated because they can either buy off the regulators / government, or fight them with armies.
