"Free markets" exist in socialism. There is no loss of efficiency, by fiat, whatever you think that is. A socialist free market is simply one in which the rules are aligned to the benefit of the people as a tool. Where they are seen as a means, not an end. You know....places with minimum wages and environmental regulations? Laws against price gouging and profiteering? Antitrust regulations and quality standards..........the list goes on and on.
It's stuff like this, above, that demonstrate the actual nature of "libertarianism" as propaganda. Anyone who tells me that the "free market" can't operate efficiently unless it's allowed to fail us as the tool it is has swallowed the koolaid. That;s a powerful argument -against- free markets..not for them.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
