> In a free market it will be unlikely to have many poor people, as they will see the reality and settle where they are truly productive
That's a very wild claim, unsubstantiated by anything. The history of industrial revolution shows otherwise ( regular people are exploited to death until some regulations come to stop the most rampant abuses). Do you have anything to support your case?
> And yes, I believe everyone will be better off with free markets, otherwise i’d be a commie too.
So for you there's only communism and absolute free markets? So you're in the clueless libertarian case. Considering the freeish markets available today fail miserably at correcting for externalities such as pollution and climate change, how do you imagine absolutely free ones would do so?
