Libertarianism just replaces governments with corporations, and doesn't lead to freedom!

These points seem pretty reasonable, wonder what's wrong with them since you mentioned you're not actually a libertarian?

You also mentioned businesses that tend to become monopolies, and more generally, there seem to be types of business that don't really play well in a free market. One non-monopoly example could be antibiotics, since we're all worse off the more they're consumed. Another example is natural resources exploitation: competition won't stop these resources from running out. I know close to nothing about economics but shouldn't it be pretty straightforward to figure out which businesses or which business aspects are the ones that benefit from free market? It seems mostly a technical question.
