Capitalism, by definition, is contrary to freedom. Capitalism is the concept, that the means of production should be in private hands. Those who hold the means of production get more influence by exploiting their workforce (or resources they hold) in order to centralise more accumulate more influence and means of production under themselves. Capitalists always strive to gain more power, money and influence. Capitalist think, that they should have the freedom to buy the world and exclude the working force from their circles. To them the working class is only a machine, meant to produce capital for them, subject to replace if it doesn't work as expected anymore. The freedom of capitalism is the freedom for the rich. It is not the freedom for the working class.
