The Limits of Freedom

Markets were never meant to be complete systems unto themselves. Every market we use requires us to impose our morality onto it so that it functions in accordance with nature.
A free market assumes rational choice, but with social engineering as a product, delusion becomes a desirable commodity. Modern man is stripped of his innate sensibilities, and reengineered as the ideal consumer, an insatiable consumer.
A market unchecked by morality inevitably yields insatiable consumers. A complete system where humans don't have to intervene in and assert their morality over, could only be the design of those trying to capitalize on inciting immorality.
The act of separating morality from economic, political, and social decisions guarantees immorality because it becomes exactly what is capitalized on. There is a profit motive to break down morality.
Our society treats immorality as if it were a virtue, and freedom as if it actually exists. Liberation is not freedom, discipline is. Liberation unchecked by morality is slavery to desire.
The free market does not mean that you are free, it means that the market is free. This is why a strong leader, with a Will To Moralize, is necessary to curtail free markets.
Free markets serve capital, not humanity. Without an applied morality, capital naturally consolidates. Free markets create an efficient allocation of resources, not for humanity, but for capital.
In a moral vacuum, the free market hatches its own morality, the Will To Globalize, a subversion of bottom-up morality into top-down morality, dictated by capital, mediated through democracy, leaving us chained to freedom.
