The private spice traders

The real problem with the Big Tech cartel is that it is using its monopoly power over communications to fix elections.

That held rare spices

They were a monopoly

Sources, for what, the east india trading company?

also check out the bannana wars

Yeah

ahahha

I found a book on it

Haha, when dhole literally purchased a country?

Coupyamel

My mans sam made a video on it

multiple nations were turned into despot slave states, with regular state sponsored murders, on behalf of bananna companies like dole

Yes.

So

It was a government backed by a monopoly

It wasn't BECAUSE there was a state.

Drug cartels are a perfect example of an industry that has 0 government backing that turn into monopolies.

as are banks

The Afgan opium industry has a monopoly over heroin in Russia

Not backed by gov

lol

but.. it is backed by government

the taliban government

and the US

I guess

But they are not backed

Just ignored

To appeal to population

taliban actively cultivate it for profit

Thats still a monopoly caused by government

I'd say posting Marines to protect the fields constitutes backing

True

Taliban is shite

Drugs are horrible monopoly examples

which is also true

Too many government variables

I'd say funding, training, and equipping the Northern Alliance (drug traffickers) against the Taliban (eradicators) constitutes backing

I'd say providing helicopters for the harvest in the goldan triangle constituted backing
