capitalism is intregal to freedom.


I am a capitalist.

Unfettered capitalism soon kills itself.

The only way to make capitalism work in the long term is to fetter it with wise regulations

The premise of the question is flawed to the point of laughable.

There’s no such animal as FREE socialist anything. Socialism is collective force and control by government., i. e. government regulation & crony capitalism. While actual FREE markets as in “free market capitalism,” is capitalism free to operate by the laws of natural self-correcting actions such as failure and bankruptcy for bad capitalist, ideas, stupid investment and natural smarter competition of others, while also instituting unlimited success for good capitalist ideas, smart investment and smart competitive actions.

"Indie" Capitalism and crowd funding are of interest to me and I would like to know more about them. Social Capitalism is what I support at this time.

That's just not true. Free market socialism and socialist anarchism are very real ideologies.

Basically the same thing as free market capitalism, minus wage labor.

So you are asking if I'd want a system with more or less regulation?

I would expect anyone with a lick of common sense to take the fact that government forced socialism is Anti-Freedom seriously. Government forced socialism is authoritarian force by definition. Thus, the words “free market socialism” are an oxymoron.
