    Yeah well Monopoly isn’t solidarity, it’s oppression, so fighting that is good in my book.

      A liberal fights a monopoly by competition, so that no single capitalist gains more profits over the other capitalists.

      A socialist fights a monopoly by socializing it and making it a utility that works to meet the needs of the population, eliminating the profit motive.
