They are. One sentence says that free markets become oligopolies (which is
not true) while the other says that government regulated markets (non-free
markets) become oligopolies.

But they BOTH can become oligopolies.

Either free markets create them, or non-free markets. If both create them,
this discussion is meaningless. Needless to say, I do not believe so, but
if someone does believe it, I see no point in continuing talking.

The natural state of the system is oligopoly.  A government can resist this,
or it can accelerate it.   This is why a government controlled by an informed
electorate is so important.
