Those are my words, but if you will notices the words "money" or "profits" are conspicuously absent from them.
Please do not attempt the ole "bait and switch" routine on me. I said their power needs to be distributed, I said nothing about income or wealth.
A monopoly requires the use of force to eliminate competition.
No it doesn't. People can be frozen out of a market simply by agreements between other people.
Therefore, the only way a monopoly can exist is if the government allows it.
This may be true, but it sort of misses the point. Monopolies are inevitable if the government allows it. It is the duty of government to make sure that none form, or linger if they do.
You said “power” - in any market, power *is* money. They are interchangeable. There is no bait and switch - they are the same thing.
And yes, a monopoly *requires* force. Force is the very definition of monopoly. Without the ability to use force, someone else can always come along and offer the same product or service better and cheaper regardless of any agreement between any other parties. And if people are unhappy with the “large and monopolistic” provider, they will choose the new one - absent force.
I’m not going to continue this argument because it’s plain that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
