> There is no such thing as a free market without government intervention.
Maybe this is true with respect to global financial markets, etc. But it can't possibly be true in general. People have stably traded physical goods in literal markets (i.e. stalls where you buy spices and tomatoes and such) for thousands of years with no government intervention.
Small amounts of people do not need a government because they can just represent themselves. Any city needs a government, tasting at any sensible scale needs a the government. 3000BC Egyptians had taxes, laws and a government.
Can you provide some historical example of thousands of citizens trading without a government? That would be an incredible experiment on anarchism.
