that the current global financial and economical system is pretty far from being a free market.
The central bank is not picking winners and losers with tight money, nor with loose money.

Socialist experimentation is a crime.

such a system, if it works, could actually strengthen the free market, since it would remove a lot of rules and regulations while also giving a pretty predictable level of minimal demand on the economy. At least in theory.

Exactly. Free market economy have been proven to work. Socialism have been proven to fail.
I really don't understand the suicidal tendency.
You guys are as suicidal as Daybreak.

I'm curious, when did you think that happened?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

But that's a good thing.
no
It really is.  The unchecked free market is just as bad as your communist hellholes were.

On the other hand if the state believes that idle hands are the work of the devil no one would play either.

I think Neil is right about this.  Both would be terrible options.  It would be hard to decide which would be the most terrible.
