    That’s not a government enforced monopoly. A government enforced monopoly means nobody else is allowed in the market. Like utility companies.

      Lots of Utilities are consumer cooperatives which is funnily enough Socialist, but the people working there wouldn’t like to hear that.

            Yes. I’m not saying it’s not monopolistic behavior. I’m saying it’s not a government sanctioned monopoly.

                    But that’s not criminal. That’s civil. That’s no different than a contract dispute. It’s not government enforced, but it may be government mediated.

                    You could disobey a civil summons…but that’s a different issue.

                    Just stop. This is the same bad faith rabbit hole libertarians use to say the government is all violence, from safety codes to taxes.

                    Lol, are you some sovereign citizen‽

                    The world doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say “No that thing isn’t your! I didn’t agree with it being yours.”
