There you go again. You simply assume that without Big Brother, companies
will become monopolies. You also make the odd assumption that a monopoly is
a defacto state. Where are the premises to back up these assertions?
In point of fact, a true monopoly is an exclusive franchise _granted and
enforced by government_. F'rinstance, the Post Office, or AT&T before the
breakup, or most utilities. So your question is absurd.
