I don't think anyone is arguing that a pure free market exists.

Having a capitalist economy doesn't mean that you have a pure free market anyway.

Although there are libertarians that would like to have a free market like that, every capitalist economy has regulations in place in an attempt to prevent monopolies and/or businesses having too much power in one area.
