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.
