It must be nice having such a great escape hatch you can use whenever your ideology is questioned ("government did it") and when confronted you can just use it again. Unfortunately the world isn't so simple. I am not sure how you reconcile reality with your dogma, as you can literally see monopolies forming in real time, but I guess throwing the government boogie man in works well enough for you that no attempt at reason will break through it.

- Eisenstein 3y agoHow do you address the substance of a fantasy? You are ideologically opposed to government and have a quasi religious faith in the free market fixing all problems without intervention. If the market cannot be intervened with then it is doing its work as a 'force' and might as well be The Holy Spirit. You state demonstrably false things or split definitions down to a hair (yes -- the only REAL monopolies have been government mandated, because by definition the only way to force all competitors from competing is to make it illegal) but I don't think people care about technically correct when they are working in company towns for scrip and their kids fall into coal crushers while working because their are no laws protecting people, just business. Fun fact: the first tactical bombing from an airplane was on striking mine workers in the USA.
