yes, he's responding to [0] which was written by Musharbash and published in Matt Stoller's newsletter.

if he's going to say "here's what the antitrust left believes" and then proceed to debunk it, I think it's reasonable to point out that his response is cherry-picking only part of what that "antitrust left" believes.
