Government / regulatory capture is a really bad thing. Businesses that can use the government to shut down competitors is bad. None of that is free market. Companies that are indistinguishable from government are bad. Tax payer Subsidies to pick winners and losers are bad.

None of those are free market.

People often argue against free market by pointing at things that are the opposite of free market.

Proponents of the free market often seem prone to the no true Scotsman fallacy.
