And, to poke my esteemed colleague in his eye-socket, the right-honorable JazzC (who is an anarchist masquerading as a libertarian),
Poke accepted. I 'll pass over the eloquent tirade of epithets and try answer this without getting the thread locked...

I won't stop myself from mentioning though that it seems to me that your understanding of classification in terms of political science is lacking.
there really IS such a thing as a monopoly,
No shit Sherlock. Of course there is a monopoly and what defines it in the economic sense isn't the popular belief (# of sellers in a market), but the "no restrictions to entry" requirement.
The confusion about the nature of monopoly comes naturally since the first one is merely counting which is easy for anyone to do while the second one requires some hand holding for people who are not familiar with it.
and the concerns of us dirt-bound mud people are valid because at some point the monopolies' economic power bridges over into political power and they use that power to prevent the competition
It does not bridge. It is merely a natural extension of the one monopolistic source. The only monopoly capable of institutionalizing monopolies all over the place is the one found in the field of power - take a guess as to which one is it.
that the Liberanarchistarians love to get stiffies over. (Talking about economic competion is like watching porn for a Liberararchistarian. It makes their weiners sturdy and their vaginal passages damp. Both, at the same time.)
Seems like you are quite adept in the academic field of fapping. It 's good for any human to have at least one strong point...
And so that's what we have right now, a Statist Corporatocracy where economic power and government power are all one and the same and the funny thing is you have socialists and liberanarchistarians BOTH advocating in favor of maintaining the monopolistic powers of corporations like Google (and Microsoft, etc...)
Instead of drawing a lyrical response to this baffling array of words, I 'll just use someone else 's quote because it fits perfectly: "I can't even begin to understand what kind of confusion of ideas could have led to such a conclusion".
Same goes for the next 2 paragraphs, it even pains intellectually to read them.
Which brings us back to the definition of rights.
Really? What part of the definition of rights is hard to understand, I wonder. Let 's start with the basic natural rights - you own your body and the fruits of your energy. From that simple axiom, everything else springs.
