The left has a bias toward truth, yeah.
Also in a free market, big business becomes your government. Famously uncorrupt, right?
Persons with larger amounts of money having an influence on the government seems more like a problem with democracy rather than an issue with capitalism.
If we had, in theory, a direct democracy (aka we vote for every decision) then a (regulated) capitalist market seems good to me...
It is very easy to steer a population regarding decisions that are way over their head and might even be contrary to their naive interests (ie. collect a tax on concrete to subsidize CO2 neutral building). Direct democracy is every fascist's dream.
