Wow, it looks like you need some explaining here. I completely missed that.
Free market corporations are not exclusive, privileged, or monopolistic.
You know what is?
The government and its effects.
When the government does something, it does it by employing force and coercion. It legislates and has the right to force its will on others - it is privileged. You know what else is privileged? Individuals and corporations supported by the government. It is monopolistic - it does not tolerate any resistance and punishes such resistance with its legal system. It is monopolistic as it holds an absolute monopoly on the initiation of force. You know what else if monopolistic? State-enforced monopolies. The government is exclusive. It does not permit competition as it cannot sustain it. It is ineffective and must thus rely on the use of force (ie. laws) to eliminate and exclude competition.
Private corporations function by the mercy of the consumers and as long as they want a monopoly, it will exist. If they wont have it, they will act with their money, and any free market monopoly will fall. Private companies function and exist because humans are equals and can trade freely with each other because they have a right to hold property. They exist simply because the free market allows individuals to coexist, trade for mutual benefit, and live together freely without the need of force. If force is introduced to the deal by the government, then it usually gives one side in the trade a privilege over the other. This is opposite to the basic of the free market. Free individuals can join together and/or hire people and form corporations - these are merely groups of people united in trade. They do not exclude others, they simply produce a good which the consumer wants. If the consumer wants something else, another corporation can supply it. They are not exclusive, that is. If they, as the government, were allowed to use force, they would be able to exclude and eliminate competition, as the government does. But the fact is they do not.
