What do you think about the police?

Surely even you - pig ignorant as your - aren’t claiming that the UK in the mid 19th century was anything OTHER than a capitalist economy?

Obviously not. It was an empirialist economy. Empirialism is not capitalism, in fact, it may very well be considered to be the opposite of capitalism. And it had a government that was racist against Catholics (not allowing Catholics in Ireland to have a lot of land), so the rule of law was not respected. Racism means no equality before the law, thus significantly less economic freedom.

The rule of law WAS respected. Nothing parliament did to Irish Catholics was illegal.
