So efficiently he cornered the market
Without any involvement from the government
Why shouldn't the most efficient corner the market?
That's not a monopoly
The competition wasn't efficient
But it was a monopoly. He was the only one who could offer the product for the price he could
And as a result the competition ceases to exist
The word monopoly was coined around this time because of companies like standard oil my man
Why is it the consumers fault for buying the best price available?
Redpill yourself about NS economics: http://ironmarch.org/index.php?/topic/6794-fascist-economics-and-socialism-of-duty/
Nobody is blaming the consumer
We're blaming government for not stepping in
The consumer often has no choice but to buy the cheapest product. They have no guilty in this
A monopoly only exists if it prevents competition from entering the market. Monopolies only exist because of the government
Standard Oil prevented other companies from entering the makret
That's simply not true
This argument is getting really circular
Lots of people pay more for "made in America" products. If I lived in a white ethnostate I would buy products made locally
If you could afford to

This is a great article as well
If you discover a way to make a product 100x cheaper than the next competitor, and you keep that production method to yourself, you're monopolizing the industry
Yeah I feel like we're seeing diminishing returns in this conversation
If I lived in the 1900s and had the resources to buy land & dig for oil, how would the Rockefeller prevent that?
You wouldn't be able to sell the oil for enough to make it worth your while
Offering you a ridiculous sum of money to not do it and give you the oil
And what Fevs says. Your prices could not compete with his in the first place
You would not own the timer companies, the truck companies. etc
If it can't compete then he deserves to have a 90% market share. It's what the consumer wants
And from there he can exploit the consumer
^
Without any recourse from the consumer
Government is the only recourse
He holds that 90% market share until everybody else is driven out of business
Between Apple and Samsung, they probably have 90% market share on smartphones . There are alternatives but they have this massive market share because it's what people want
Then skyrockets the price
Then it becomes profitable to compete again
But the barrier to entry isn't something easily achievable
He owns every step along the process, if you try to open up just ONE step of it, you'd have to use his company right?
He mines, transfers, and refines all his oil
Say you just mine it
He could charge you out the ass for transportation and refinement
