Because they're convenient

They're easily accessible

And they've typically buy up any competition that might provide a decent alternative

and what makes you think the same won't happen in a scenario where the government doesn't exist

I'm not advocating for no government to begin with? Sooo irrelevant

If anything I'd like to see some anti monopoly laws

New ones at least

don't they already exist

and in a free market why shouldn't they be allowed to exist if they can

> if you can't even garner support for your cause

Take the reverse of this

*Communism deserves support because so many support it*

Lol

i dont think people support communism

you don't think then

Take a look at bernie supporters <:smugon:512048583806025739>

sounds like you guys have no clue about communism in the first place

Educate me, daddy.

Has anyone here read Kapital?

too boring

that explais it

it's literally just numbers, lmao

uh no its not

sounds like you couldn't read it

i mean its okay a lot of people can't

you know Kapital a bit too well, my friend <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608> 🚁

especially the first three chapters

<:tidepodpour:590855656526053376>

but coming back to the free markets and monopolies

why shouldn't monopolies exist in free markets?

Because the executives abuse their employees perhaps

who cares

its free markets

If I can make a product super cheaper and buy out my competition why shouldn't i be allowed to do so

and if you have a problem with it buy expensive shit then

You see

the markets exist regardless of how i operate

In a monopoly that's not how things work. You dont have alternatives

It's on my reading list, I tend to find that all of marx criticisms or capitalism can be remedied by very minimal free market regulation. The Marxist theories always struck me as a massive overreaction to the inherent differences in the capability of individuals.

I don't think you understand what my point here is. We are talking about FREE Markets.
