It’s free in the sense that the wealthiest businessmen are free to decide how the rest of the country shound live.

Maximum freedom for the maximally wealthy.

And getting the big money out of politics is communism, according to these fascists.

Capitalism needs protection because the socialists are better at capitalism than the capitalists are. After all, capitalism only works long term with a strong state to ensure market competition.
