Is that not what capitalism is all about?
No. You’re ostensibly conflating monopolies (due to power vacuums) with free market capitalism.
For example, central banks loaning money to the government (thus forcing regressive taxation) came about because the power vacuum of democracy is totalitarianism.
One of the key points in my rebuttal is that the rewards for cartels are asymmetric and disproportionate to their SP stake. So not only are they getting their outsized share, but they are also getting more than their outsized share. For some reason, this point seems to fly right over the head of most readers. I cannot since my explanations in 2016 get the community to comprehend the logic and math of it.
And Minds has not solved that fundamental problem that I had explained in 2016.
EDIT: I elaborated in my reply to your other comment about the distinction between top-down ruthless power vacuums and the beneficial, bottom-up free market.
