On the 'go to jail' question: capitalism makes it so that you die if you don't earn money. And it has been the aim of capitalists for 50 years to erode every social program which might keep people alive without needing to work 9-5. Housing, health, education and more are under constant attack, leaving us with the 'freedom' to find the job of our 'choice' to earn money.
The state is, by its nature, an incursion on absolute liberty. But at least it is or can be beholden to democracy. Free market capitalism leaves us at the mercy of a select few, who often achieved their power via inheritance. I personally opt for more state involvement in the economy, always working to make it as democratic as possible.
