A monopoly cannot exist without coercive control; coercive control cannot be maintained without government.

Of course it can exist without a government ๐Ÿ˜‚

False. A competitor can always copy a company's process and compete to make the product cheaper. The only thing preventing this are government decrees and government issued patents etc.

Good luck in your ideal world ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you, good luck in yours brother ๐Ÿค

Correct. He acts like a plethora of Austrians havenโ€™t already talked about this for decades and heโ€™s the first one to come up with this FUD. Itโ€™s the type of thing youโ€™d hear from socialist Redditors.

I'm very suprised to hear it on Nostr of all places. There are no examples of monopolies ever existing without an authoritarian government structure. Looking forward to his rebuttle ๐Ÿ‘

The idea that structures could act in a more social way than humans is the main issue of the left. They have so much admiration for grids that entrap individuals that they often forget these grids will soon become tools of the worst individuals and predators. Governments that should create a peaceful environment are the main cause of wars and economical crisis. I agree with them that monopolies are the issue but absolutely disagree on the idea that some beneficial syndacate will maintain his etics and will not become an even worst monopoly uniting the power of money, law and cohercion.
