Anti monopoly and regulations against anti competitive practices are cornerstones of capitalism ensuring free and fair competition.

No, that's the opposite of capitalism.

No unregulated capitalism is super capitalism.
Regulated capitalism is capitalism we actually try to get to work as intended or "normal" capitalism.
Social democracy is "Caring" capitalism. Where free markets and capitalism still exist, but is regulated to prevent exploitation of ordinary people.

Normal capitalism has a drive to become super capitalism. You can try to stop it, maybe you’ll succeed, but it will always strive to turn itself into super capitalism.
