What exactly went wrong with what freemarketeers wanted?

Read again: "40 hours work week, prohibition of child labor, retirement funds, abolishment of slavery, progressive taxation etc, etc ..."

I'm a freemarketeer and I have no problem with a 40 hour work week, prohibition of child labor, retirement funds and abolishment of slavery. I would prefer a flat tax to a progressive tax.

Maybe you shouldn't guess at what us freemarketeers want? It doesn't sound like you can twist your Communist mindset to fit into our free market thinking.

Freemarketeers differ from Marx that they do not look into the logical consequences of their theory.

We saw what the logical consequences of Marx's theory were. Gulags, misery and poverty. We see the logical consequences of the free market have been much higher standards of living in those countries which have freer markets as compared to those that have less free markets.
