And it's not a free market. And its not free trade. It's the 1% of the 1%'ers getting everything and using the rest of the world's poorest as slave-wage labor to produce the goods as cheaply as possible. Governments of nations enable laws which benefit trade for these 1%'ers, yet the benefit does not go back to the people of said nations, it goes back to the 1% of the 1%'ers. In return, the governments and politicians get kickbacks to continue to grow their own power structures. And we all get cheap goods in return, and rely on the globalist corporations to keep feeding us cheaper goods. The laws and trade agreements fundamentally aren't there to make the laws free and fair, they are there to allow the 1%'ers to profit greater. This is our globalist economy in a nutshell.

It is not a truly free market because there are governments and corporations who are at the top colluding to make this happen, to benefit themselves. Wars are involved, people get bombed into homelessness, people work for slave-wages, and so on. This is different than the rich simply getting richer within a free system. One could argue that a capitalist system naturally leads to this sort of non-capitalistic globalism, but this doesn't mean it's one and the same.
