When things get irreparably bad, people band together and start anew, using their experience to build a better system.

Well, they try. But sometimes they can't. Who can stop them? Only a state.

A state that is allowed to stop people from creating new systems, is required for monopolies to form.

A state is absolutely not required. Those who control the monopolies can themselves prevent competition. There are a million different tactics they can use.

Sure, but if a corporation harms people, they will eventually learn its name and begin avoiding it. Unless there is a state protecting this harmful corporation and its income with countless laws. They can grow everywhere, but a full dystopia must be sanctioned by the state.
