"You can't engage in a system set from the ground (ha) up to be monopolistic and which has been criticized at least since (and by) Adam Smith, often referred to as the Father of Capitalism, as a holdover of the feudal era, as well as numerous other non-leftist movements, such as Georgists, in a non-monopolistic manner."
