I'm saying it again since this is still top of /all/.
You literally left Reddit because of what capitalism did to it.

The left has a bias toward truth, yeah.
Also in a free market, big business becomes your government. Famously uncorrupt, right?

The problem is how do we get there? In a market there will always be actors powerful enough to corrupt the governmenta and influence regulation in an undemocratic way.

I believe you are probably right. the problem is that capitalists only focus is profit. so if their profit is limited by this hypothetical non-corrupt government they will try their absolute best to make sure they get their way in the government, and since they have a lot of money they also have the power to do that.
also the ideology of endless growth for the sake of growth (how capitalism works) is literally impossible on a planet with limited recourses
