"Drug prices in the US are high for non-generic drugs because patent law gives the patent holder an artificial government-granted monopoly, which is blatantly not "pure" or "maximum capitalistic"."

This is very much capitalistic. It's not competitive markets (which are good for consumers) but capitalists hate competition once they have made it to the top.

Capitalism doesn't serve capitalists. It's built to create an environment where the capitalist, doing what they do best, also serves the community.

Monopolies are anti-capitalism, despite it being something that capital strives for.

This is like being upset that bug spray doesn't actually spray bugs, in fact, it actually deters them.
