Libertarians are NOT about rich corporations

Libertarians are mostly about small businesses. We want the government out of business affairs so that it's easier for small businesses to flourish.

Lefties always argue that "libertarians only care about the big corporations. without the government restricting them, they will monopolize and rule the world.". In fact it's the opposite. The big corporations love these restrictions because they are making it really hard for small businesses to even get off the ground, let alone compete with them.

Basically, libertarians want to make it easier for people to start their own businesses, and have less people relying on corporations for their salaries. More businesses means more competion, and a less crowded job market which makes it a lot harder companies to overwork and underpay their employees.

Monopoly of force is part of the standard definition of a state within political science.

It basically means that no one can perform violence without authorisation of the state, or face retaliation from it.

Monopoly doesn't mean that it's impossible for anyone else to do it. If a large cooperation has a monopoly on selling rubber ducks, it doesn't mean that I won't be able to walk out on the street and sell a rubber duck to some guy.
