Well, the difference is the "actual monopoly" here can be voted out democratically. Give the workers of Amazon and other companies the same power to influence the board through one person one vote or a liquid democracy, then we can talk about the supposed hypocrisy involved in asking government to break up monopolies.
- wonder_er 8y agoBut we can stop voting for the thing by... not buying it. If enough people stop using Amazon, Amazon goes away. Now think of how large the demonstrations have been to protest various government policies, and how little change has come about. I've not yet been able to figure out how to vote out drug warriors, and whoever the hell it is in the government that supports the US global military empire. If you can tell me who to vote for to legalize drugs and end the wars, I'll do so in a heartbeat! I think the government would like us to continue to think that we have say in its going-ons, via once-every-two-year elections.
