Kind of. It’s the system they operate under, capitalism.

Get rid of those specific people and you would have others people take their place.

However, not to say that it isn’t worthwhile to also bust out the guillotines

Cheaper is not the same as more profitable. It’s an important distinction. You can’t own and control the sun and charge people to harvest the energy. Monopolizing and gatekeeping are the end goals of capital owners.

Unless you think the Chinese market is more free. They’re producing solar panels like crazy.

OK. Oil is only profitable for a select few people now. Why don’t we rise up in arms to change production and seize the means of production now? More people have incentive to now than not (most people are not oil billionaires), why doesn’t it change?

Coercion through state violence, a propaganda apparatus telling you the only way to structure society is through capitalism, and treats to sedate the masses from revolting against their living conditions.

A magic nebulous “more free” market doesn’t change that.
