Real Socialism.
One house.
One car.
One child.
One TV.
One Channel, spouting how great Socialism is.
Just enough food to survive on.
Cant complain about how life is, because then you are complaining about Socialism.
Must work. If you dont contribute to the Socialist system, then the government FORCES you to work.
Have no initiative to work harder, because even if you do, you dont get to keep any of it, as it goes to the government for redistribution.
Have no entertainment, because since there is only 1 channel for TV that tells everyone how great Socialism is, there are no movies stars, sports athletes, you get the gist.

So this is Socialism at its finest, if this appeals to you, this will happen when the Socialist take over this country. Soon this will happen after that.

Sure you can. What you can't trust, is you just can't trust government to choose winners and losers.

As soon as it mixes with government, it is no longer, by definition, laissez-faire any longer.

It has then become some form or other of,
Dirigisme.
Dirigisme - Wikipedia

I don't think you have a problem with the free market, I think you have a problem with government choosing winners and losers. You are just tired of the government continually choosing the rich, and the powerful.

We all are buddy, we all are.

From the beginning of preparedness in 1939 through the peak of war production in 1944, American leaders recognized that the stakes were too high to permit the war economy to grow in an unfettered, laissez-faire manner.

our economy should directed toward the general welfare not the general warfare.

If you understand economics, you would understand that our economy should not be directed at all.

It would serves everyone's best interests the most if it were set free.

As an example, compare the British Empire and the rising of the U.S.A. before the establishment of the FED.
