Free markets are the only sustainable way to a socialist utopia.

How can free market achieve socialist utopia? Which society has used
free market to achieve socialist utopia without using social policy to

Socialism leads to protectionism.

How so? Socialism is mainly a social policy, not an economic policy.

You are trying to use a big brush to draw a delicate painting -- too
imprecise to work.

There seems to be some confusion as to the nature of the political
state. Government is not synonymous with the "State." Governments can
and are often voluntary organizations such as service clubs,
homeowners assns. or churches. Political authority has led to murder
and mayhem for many thousands of years. While I do not accept Marxism-
Leninism as a viable economic system, Chairman Mao was certainly
correct in stating that "political power grows out of the barrel of a
gun."
