>The free market does not exist because the government stands in its way

So people should quit talking about it as it existed.

Not to mention that the same could (and WAS) said for communism ("it didn't exist because party bureucrats got in the way").

>You can't break my spine and then blame me for being paralyzed.

No, but I can point out that the unicorn pony you frequently talk about doesn't exist and never did in human history.

At various places and times throughout history, conditions of a largely free market have existed. It is not a "unicorn pony" (isn't that redundant and/or contradictory?). However, such conditions do not exist in most of the world now, and I don't see anywhere praxeologist or myself claimed otherwise.
