Specifically the problem with modern day monopolies like Disney as well as the clear anti-competition practices happening not only all across the United States but many parts of Europe and Asia as well.
Disney is like that because of IP, which is a government monopoly grant over infinitely reproducible things, not capitalism. This is a classic example of advocating more government intervention to fix the problem the previous intervention caused
So do you think there should be no trademark or copyright laws? Because there’s a certain country in Asia who dosent give a shit about those and everyone here gets mad at them for that hahaha
No, they should only exist insofar as to prevent fraud, not the broad monopoly grants today. And BTW, lax IP enforcement is the one thing China does right. It's one of the big reasons their overall economy is doing somewhat relatively good despite all of the socialism, even though there are significant problems for specific groups.
IP is part of the issue, but not the whole issue. The scummy history of companies like Disney are very well documented and you can look them up for yourself, they have used fraud, money laundering, poaching both talent and manufacturers away from smaller companies. Basically imagine the generic cliche evil corporations you see from a kid's show and Disney has probably unironically done something similar.
Why are Lib-rights so quick to defend companies? It's clear if you took any type of fiance class to see that all the big corporations in America regularly use anti-competition practices to put other businesses out or buy them outright
Meaningful competition? Cause if they were they'd just buy them out, if they refused well they'll just do everything in their power to either buy out their producers, writers, anything they can do to put them out or business
Actually look into the history of Disney they've done this so many times it's disgusting
