@slightlyoff people equate capitalism with centralization because that has been their experience over the past few decades: mergers and takeovers leading to larger corporations with top-down central planning.
@danjac@slightlyoff ...but that's the point. Unfettered capitalism leads to consolidation which leads to a lack of competition. The inevitable endgame of unregulated capitalism is, ironically, a non-capitalist oligarchy.
