You are wrong. there is no monopoly abuse when monopoly doesn't have extra support from government. How could monopoly (if monopoly happen at all) abuse ? Selling below costs? OK let they sell, others will wait a bit or even buy the products until monopoly will not have money to continue this, then compete with the monopoly by selling back what they bought on below-cost prices. Forcing others to stop producing? how?
