No, they aren't.

I'm not a big fan of governments paying up to rescue big companies that made billions and in the end went bankrupt because in a free market is unfair. But that's far, very far from not being capitalism. The action itself may not be the most "capitalistic" but after that the government doesn't take control, it's not an expropriation.

Not exactly a 'free market' then if they're not free to fail.

That's my point and that's why I think it's unfair. If my company goes bankrupt the government won't give me millions to stay afloat.
