    I remember seeing this meme in a conservative comment section here on Lemmy. The text, of course, switched to say Dems don’t understand economics.

    Maybe nobody understands the economy because IF there is such a think as a “free market” we sure as hell ain’t in it.

      “Free Market” in Capitalism theory means consumers are free to choose.
      “Free Market” in Neoliberalism theory means “capitalists” are free to do as they wish.
