The same misunderstanding as your opposites have

Why would it never happen? Because they will just agree to stop accumulating power?

Humans are greedy yes, Corporations ran by people will try to take power, My point is that even if they try they will never be able to

Due to other corporations combating them

Why? Apple could and would lake over google if they were allowed

Because it would make them much more powerful

just as the state has to protect a persons free speech rights... it has to protect a businesses free market rights

It would likely be bloody

And then new companies would be set up to combat them

Thats such a flimsy arguement

facebook should not be allowed to pay ISPs etc to block minds or gab

Yes because a business with a single office can resist apple for example in a FME

No they cant

they will be given a offer they cant refuse

So in your view it is a reasonable scenario that one business would just take over everything but it is not reasonable to expect people to take some initiative and set up their own businesses?

Or they will be hostile tookover at the earliest oppertunity

People will set up their over businesses

But they will be taken over by the huge mega corps

Not all of them

you can set up your own business... but a major corp should not be able to stop them from doing business... the free market should decide

Because competition is bad for them

if a big corp goes out of its way to stop a small business startup... how is that a free market?

It isn't, it's economic regulation with extra steps

They have fairly gained that influence by doing well in the Free Market

Its just someone else doing it

why shouldn't facebook be allowed to pay them to not do that

They haven't been given the power like the State was they have earn't it by successfully navigating the free market, And that influence can be taken away at any point by the consumer if they stopped using their products

So once you have fairly gained your influence it's ok to ensure no-one else can do it to challenge you

Good one

They are more beheld to the people then the State is

the customers should decide which businesses grow and fail... not monopolies using unfair practices so customers never get to see the competition

In the State we get one vote every few years

You do realise what a monopoly is lizard?

If a corp monopolises water

Yes

For example

People will find other sources

"lol just stop buying it"

doesnt work

They will be combatted

you would be preventing them from using their money to buy the services of another private actor wacka
