Both. They use le free market because it lets them hide their goals, but they also huff their own farts and get confused when the market doesn't give them what they want.
Conservatives and liberals both believe the market can supply some kind of internal implicit goodness if guided in the correct directions. Conservatives believe all possible consumer options are available to all people simultaneously, but it gets incoherent when they can't get what they want or they see gay people on TV.
They don't know what they actually want most of the time.
Their worldview is born out of ignorance, and their response to being unable to materially parse a way through the fog to their end goal (because all their mechanisms for action are idealistic liberalism/fascism) is to willingly engage in disingenuous behavior to try and weasel their way into what they want.

Conservatives want fascism.
