I grew up in apartheid 70s South and the thing of South Africa was less about apartheid than monopolies. The biggest threat to the whites was actually white monopolists. We had what we called the big 5. They controlled the entire country irrespective of race. The mining conglomerates The stockmarkets from Johannesburg The cigarette trade The alcohol trade The railways The aircraft were all south african airways who monopolised all the key routes. No room for any upcoming enterprize. The insurance company So we grew up with this mentality of monopolising. As peter thiel said. Competition is for losers.
