Okay, so when did this free market exist? Only in the paleolithic. Ever since the dawn of agriculture, governments have intervened in commerce. You will need to provide specific examples. Every civilization from the dawn of time, starting with Sumerians, has been taxed.
the capitalist state is a product of the capitalist system. Politicians are obviously bought and paid for by the wealthiest class. State repression is a product of a 'once-free market', basically advanced securitarism.
@SyndicalistTimes Actually no...everywhere you look you will see evidence of State interference in free market economics. Without the State, corporations would not have the power they have. Every worker riot in history, including the largest and longest worker rebellion ever, the battle of Blair Mountain, was squelched by government troops. Not a free market, really. Rampant market interference.
the free market is the freedom to exploit people in the most efficient way possible. You would have corporations instead of nation-states. The state is meant to restrict and regulate corporations, but it does not do it's job. Still though, things would be MUCH worse if the corporations had absoloute power, which they pretty much do anyway and look at the state of things.... here's your free market...sweat shops and exploitation, beautiful, right?

Free market is voluntary transactions: both sides benefits. That is freedom.

actually the way globalist capitalism operates is basically what the 'free market' is.

A lot of Noam Chomsky is this video with very little explanation of how markets provide mutual benefit between free individuals
