I don't think Google essentially having a monopoly on Social Media is a good thing
Hold on a minute.
I thought you said you supported the free markets?!
Monopiles only damage the free market
You don't like them monopolising power? A natural outcome OF free markets?
Google having a monopoly is partly due to IP laws
A statist law
So it can't be entirely blamed on the Free Market
The very market system you support has given you Google
Which you now complain about.
Its a problem of Free Markets of course, I don't support Laissez Faire Capitalism i do believe that there should be some restrictions on companies that have monopiles
Communist.
I am not even close to being a Communist although i used to be
Feudalism is the way forward
No
Just no
Even Adam Smith opposed Monopolies and he was a very important figure in the creation of Capitalism

Daily reminder that Adam Smith was 1st and foremost a moral philosopher and believed that man was naturally imbued with a instinct towards the good and this is what his economic writings were based upon. This being obviously just bollocks and a fad of the time, there is not rational justification for taking Adam Smith's reasoning as a serious, and even less so a valid one.
get rekt, Liberal
Its just one example though, Monopolies are not a good thing they don't really provide any benefit to society
I would consider myself to be a right leaning minor libertarian, Not a Liberal
Agreed, we should abolish the State, the ultimate monopoly on violence
dab
We shouldn't Abolish the State
But you said monopolies were bad
They are, And the State can deal with it, However if the State did not interfere in the market at all it would be more difficult for Monopolies to develop
But the state IS a monopoly
At least the Liberal state
If we could reset the economy a Minarchist State would likely work best
the feudal state wasn't
However because the state has already interfered with the economy if this was done now it would only increase the power of monopiles
I feel like ur just reciting talking points and not tackling the issue of the state itself being a monopoly
The State may have a monopoly on violence but that is necessary, I don't like it but i is necessary
Sup Doom, lit name change
sup, antisemite
For example what if someone steals something and refused to give it back, How does the owner of it get it back without calling on the state to inflict violence on the thief?
You could have a decentralized state
with local power structures
"Facebook in Czechia deletes people's posts that mention Tommy Robinson, outrageous say experts" (Google Translate is pretty decent from the quick check I made): https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/facebook-maze-prispevky-se-jmenem-tommyho-robinsona/r~f17b1a44b50211e989de0cc47ab5f122/
You would still end up with a central power albeit a smaller central power but a central power nonetheless with a monopoly on violence
