You're in favor of free markets? So you're in favor of one company ruling the world then?

Yes I'm in favor of FREE markets. FREE meaning that there is not a government body that can be hijacked and used to grant and maintain monopolies. All of the things which lead to monopolies in a capitalist system are entirely due to government.

If you'll read any of the material I linked to, you would start to understand what ALL government is. I don't care if you want to call it Socialism, Communism, Fascism, etc. Those are bullshit ideals that all stem from the same fundamental belief. The belief that the use of coercion is morally acceptable. Socialism is a forced redistribution of wealth through various methods such as taxation, tariffs, and subsidies. It violates private property (your right to the products of your labor) in the same way that all government does.

Now please go ahead and explain how one company (without using government) would rule the world.


If you see no problem with an incredible small elite owning 99% of both power and wealth, then you're right, continue with free market and capitalism.

Again, you are not understanding what a free market is. Please don't confuse it with what's called Capitalism these days.
