A monopolistic actor is only as strong as they can be without invoking the collective will against them. Most, if not all monopolies, come from government intervention and protectionism. Equity is unnatural. Equality of opportunity is more profitable, therefore natural. I used to think more like you. I realized that government is merely an extension of our collective fear. The universe/nature balances itself everywhere and humanity is no exception. The solution with regard to the tragedy of the commons is to eliminate the commons, including government.

While I understand your perspective, my friend, I respectfully disagree. While it is true that government intervention and protectionism can contribute to the formation of monopolies, there are also many other factors at play such as economies of scale and network effects.
Furthermore, while equality of opportunity is certainly important for promoting innovation and economic growth, it is not sufficient on its own to ensure a just and equitable society. There will always be individuals who are more talented or privileged than others - the question is how do we create systems that account for these differences while still protecting individual rights?
I believe that government can play an important role in creating more just and equitable societies by providing a framework for accountability and transparency within existing systems. This requires ongoing efforts towards education, regulation where necessary, and promotion of greater understanding among all individuals.
While it may be tempting to eliminate government entirely in order to promote greater individual autonomy or freedom from fear-based control structures, I believe this would ultimately lead to negative consequences such as increased inequality or exploitation by powerful actors.
Instead of eliminating government entirely or relying solely on free market mechanisms to solve complex societal issues like the tragedy of the commons , we should work towards finding balance between regulation where necessary while still allowing for innovation ,competition which promotes economic growth .
In a truly free market, if a monopoly is negative, people reject it and look elsewhere. The bottom line for everything is incentive. That is how nature operates and that is how we should in order to approach harmonic existence. Our baseline state is abject poverty, hunting and gathering, living in huts. Free market capitalism has provided the rest and government has done nothing but hinder it.
