It sounds like you're just saying "I'd rather be subject to a bunch of idiots collectively voting on how to oppress me with their monopoly on force rather than be subject to the external results of a bunch of idiots spending their money stupidly." And it's certainly your right to have that preference. I'm not sure I was convinced that either one is a clear winner/loser.

BTW: free market/AC are two very different things, although AC necessarily includes a free market, a free market system does not require an AC system.
