It is less "real-world markets" and just markets. Markets are one dollar one vote.

If one dollar equal one vote, you can't honestly say markets are free because by design they favor those with wealth and power.
There is nothing "free" about a system that favors the wealthy.
Except if you are wealthy, or at least a momentarily embarrassed bilionaire that soon expecta wealth and fortune
Well by that token armchair politicians who make social choices on forums on behalf of the dispossessed, in lieu of actually rolling up their sleeves and doing social work are merely momentarily embarrassed 'benevolent' dictators.
Which can only turn into a true statement after individual inspection of each commenter. Assuming everybody that enters political discourse online is apolitical in their activities offline might turn out a right guess at times, but it stays a guess. As if you are only allowed to say something while you are out in the streets covered with sweat. No. Then they will complain that you say anything at all instead of fixing symptoms that have a systemic origin.
Within any system, be it a society a family or a friendship, communication is important to react to shifts and regain balance (or to restructure the system). Talking is not dictating, talking is talking and the other person can always respond.

Right, which without sane wealth (re)distribution is just a plutocracy of the banks and the hyper wealthy.
