>>133707020
how do monopoly form without government regulating small business and using copyrights
no government+no copyright= infinite competition = best price and quality for consumers
>>
>>133707020
Probably the same way we got out from under that horrific buggy-whip monopoly.
>>
>>133707020
No such thing as a free market monopoly.

Even when one corporation has 100% market share, it's not a monopoly because they still compete with the prospect of not being competitive enough to discourage another company joining the race. They also compete with other sectors. A donut "monopolist" competes with a burger "monopolist."

Lolbertarians believe that their institutions magically solve any problem through economic law and no idea of purposeful effort on the part of human beings so it is marxism.

>>133708224
> No such thing as monopoly in free market so in free market, we have no idea to prevent monopolies.

>>133708224
This.

>>133707020
Don't you see how government breeds monopolies?

TLDR
It is very easy to create a monopoly especially in growing industries I.e. microsoft etc.

As Peter Thiel put it
"those running a monopoly will seek to persuade others they exist in a single tiny market"
"those struggling to break into a market controlled by monopolies will not have the resources to convince others it is a monopoly"

In a world of perfect competition a tremendous amount of resources are spent. Often as a businessman in a highly competitive market you don't make money off of it. Making monopolies the best way to increase profit for the one running the monopoly, with profits they can then use to manipulate other groups not even governments just other groups to ensure their monopoly remains absolute.

All governments are tricked, or willing to allow some monopolies.
Any An-Cap society would need a group specifically dedicated to breaking down monopolies (somehow accruing profit in the process or they would collapse)
Anon above mentions horse and buggy--> innovating out from underneath a monopoly (although like Microsoft or google if its information is not open source it would rapidly develop into a new monopoly)
Monopolies are shored up by the state. removing the state removes a support strut forcing it to adapt to the consumers demands or die... not all monopolies are terrible adapting growing ones may be useful until they are broken down by individuals seeking to make an entrance into the monopolies controlled market.

TLDR

AN-CAP society prevents monopolies by
-A group that specifically pursues and seeks to put pressure on monopolies to increase competition.
-removing state support forcing them to adapt to popular demand or die.
-being chopped up by rival businessmen as they seek to enter into parts of the controlled market
-people Innovating out from under a monopoly.
-(Depending on type and rights involved) labor unions making the monopoly conform to their wishes.

It can't. Capitalism always leads to monopolies.

I'm so sick of "anarchists" arguing against a free market. It shows a lack of intelligence as well as maturity.

Unions are a monopoly on labor to combat a monopoly on service/production. A monopoly-off, if you will. It's why unions are such shit right now, too one sided.

Economic laws are based on purposeful effort you fucking mong. Do you think shit just happens like nothing? Everything in an economy is purposeful in one way or another
>>
>>133709338
Surely economic law is formal, praxeological law and to promote it is purposeful. And you have no material idea.

> An ancap covenant community.
> It grow.
> There are: trillionaires, middle-class, and poor faggots.
> Trillionaires hate middle-class who threatens them and faggots envy them.
> Trillionaires and faggots fuck middle-class.
> Kikes rule.

How many times would you repeat it?

True libertarianism is pure hierarchy and "natrual order"

Monopolies in the sense you are talking about, are not a threat.
>>
>>133709338
Exactly. There really aren't institutions when you have a lack of government. Which leaves the power up to the individual. If you don't want a monopoly don't shop there. The problem is there are plenty of dumbfucks that will, which the only solution for stupid shits is to FORCE people to act a certain way. Which brings in government......

wait I don't think I answered your question

>>133708568
OP asked how lolbertarians stop monopolies
>>
>>133710168
wtf
>>
So, guys, is the ultimate solution to deal with dumb people?
>>
>>133713257
getting multiples of numbers on a post or checking the those of others, like mine.
>>
>>133707020
Make it easier to start / run businesses so that if "Joe Everyman" thinks he can outperform "Scary Megacorp" in any aspect of its business he can give them an honest run for their money.

Reduce the size and power of government so "Scary Megacorp" spends less time lobbying for favourable laws / treatment and more time on their customers.
>>
>>133708224
What are barriers to entry?

Libertarians don't do economics.

>>133707020
If we're talking about ancap, then simply by the fact that society would be so unpredictable that no one would invest in anything more than cottage industry.
