The citizens get to decide what their best collective interests are. They do that by, among other things, electing representatives that appoint officials to anti-trust committees.

Yes... I love when the "majority" decides to limit freedoms, under penalty of violence. Because apparently that is "the collective interest".

The most annoying bit is that it's never the majority. It's at best plurality that "gets" to decide.

I don't like it, but it's even worse when the minority decides to limit freedoms.
