Quite a few, strangely enough. “The freer the market the freer the people” is a phrase I used to hear much more often when I frequented less left-wing spaces.
yeah, maybe “the freer the market the freer the people with a lot of capital” as we can very clearly see with the billionaires.
but your circles must have been crazy, I dont think I remember meeting a left leaning person arguing for free markets.
