But I do agree... only the most hardcore anarcho-capitalist would consider regulation of monopolies "Socialism". I get yelled at by "true" Libertarians because I do not denounce the concepts of government and taxation entirely :-)
If the monopoly is due to some act of government, then government has an obligation to regulate, and they have an obligation to have a time limit that monopoly will be allowed. After that time, the infrastructure created goes back to the government, and should be auctioned back into the private sector in non-monopolistic sizes. -- JD Runyan -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
