Perhaps by exploiting they mean manipulation through advertising, high prices, opaque business practices? Never the less, I would side with the notion that anybody anywhere anytime should be skeptical of everything always simply based on caution and awareness of potential danger
-
Well if advertising is bad, imagine what 12 years of ideological programming by government “schools” does.

In this "free market" most people are not really free. The reason for this is that most people have no choice but to participate or risk starvation. So really the owner doesn't have to force anything. Coercion is inherent to the system.
-
So by not participating is by not working? Then wait for the laws of nature to finish you?

Regulations are government's attempt to curb free markets. In actuality they act more like a tax on those of us who live in a civil society.

There is not such a bigger monopoly than goverment

I'm convinced the left is unable/unwilling to make distinctions: government is coercive, not compassionate.

"Andile" is a name i associate with my home country, South Africa. His comments make perfect sense. Since 1994 the poor in my country have been fed the communist fairy-tale that they are owed prosperity. Sooner or later they would start to believe it.

Oh Stefan, you're too easy. Become the seller of something that people can't live without. For example companies like Nestle or Coca-Cola, to pick two at random, could buy up the supply of something vital, like - and I'm just spitballing here - water. http://www.waterhumanrighttreaty.org/2018/02/coca-cola-and-nestle-to-privatize-the-largest-reserve-of-water-in-south-america/ …

You bribe government officials to purchase large quantities of your product and they distribute it however they want to their supporters. Easy.

The government is not part of the free market

The Supreme Court ruled that The U.S.A. is a corporation. So, there really is only ONE free market, and you all don't use it.

By committing all or any of the practices that were the cause for the creation of antitrust law. Capitalism is a wonderful thing but in order for it to properly work we need to avoid its abuses and thats how we got antitrust law, syndicates (which can also be abused), etc.

The one grocery store example is a canard: the merchant wants to sell every product in his store. If he tries to gouge his customers during a crisis, for example, he will "pay the price" by not selling other items a customer might gave purchased otherwise......
