What’s leftist about believing in the separation of Business and State?
What’s leftist is your assertion that any and all successful business men will “do anything” to keep out competition.

You are absolutely correct. At the highest levels, only more money can be made with Gov’t support and coercion.
In many places, like China and Russia - you simply can not do any business of any worthwhile size without being in bed with Gov’t officials.
