“Why there isn’t an ANTI-MONOPOLIST faction within conservatism is beyond me.”
Perhaps because, currently, big government is more obviously interfering with people’s lives than big business. And monopolies are typically created and maintained with the collusion of government.

You idea of “collusion” should be looked at in terms of lobbyists, junkets, vote buying, campaign contributions, revolving door hiring bribery and extortion. It seems to me that businesses hell bent on monopoly do just fine corrupting government on their own. What you’d like to say to me is that Teddy Roosevelt’s trust busting efforts was the work of enterprise policing itself? Ever hear of the term “price fixing”.
