He assumes economic freedom is analogous to freedom of speech.

This analogy is fallacious because economic freedom and freedom of speech are two distinct concepts that should not be equated. While they may be related in some contexts, they are not interchangeable and do not necessarily have the same effects on society. Comparing them in this way oversimplifies the complexities of both concepts and leads to a faulty argument.
