    What ideology is it, again, that champions working class people to take their power back?

    That sounds like a free market to me. When people have the power to determine their own fate, and how they engage with others for economic coordination.

    When everyone has the ability to choose how they engage, that’s called a free market. The economic system based on free markets is called capitalism.

      A free market means zero regulation, so I hope you like drinking poison because “ain’t no gubmint telling me how to bottle my soda!”

      This requires kicking capital out of the economy. That would be defeating capitalism.

      No, it’s called voluntary participation. Free markets inevitably trend toward monopolies and concentrations of power, because the supply side is not held to any standard.

      And look where it’s gotten us - with a 1% bleeding the rest dry.
