Where did I say that? On the contrary, regulations are often needed to ensure free markets.

One could interpret “Capitalism doesn't inherently create monopolies.” like that. :)
It can be interpreted that way if you don't know the difference between capitalism and anarcho-capitalism, which seems to be oddly common on the internet.
I do believe its quite controversial to equate Regulated Capitalism with “Capitalism”. Ime. the opposite is more often true. (We do, however, agree on the necessity of properly regulated markets) :)
I'm not equating them. Regulated capitalism, just like unregulated, is a subset of capitalism.
