Anti-Capitalism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and the government should break up existing mega corporations

This answer aligns with anti-capitalist ideology, as it not only supports preventing mega mergers but also advocates for breaking up existing mega corporations. Anti-capitalists argue that breaking up large corporations would increase competition, benefit consumers, and reduce income inequality. Examples include calls to break up big tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

Strongly agree

Yes

However, this answer does not specify any conditions or thresholds for intervention, which might be important for some anti-capitalists.

Strongly agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 25% of the market share

This answer is more in line with anti-capitalist ideology, as it suggests a lower threshold for government intervention in preventing mega mergers. Anti-capitalists might argue that a 25% market share is still significant enough to warrant intervention to protect consumers and workers from the negative effects of market concentration.

Agree

Yes, if the merged corporation would have more than 50% of the market share

While anti-capitalists would generally agree with preventing mega mergers if the merged corporation would have more than 50% of the market share, this answer might be seen as too lenient by some. They might argue that even a lower market share could still lead to significant market power and negative consequences for consumers and workers.

Strongly disagree

No, we already have sufficient anti-trust laws in place to prevent monopolies

Anti-capitalists would likely disagree with this answer, as they often argue that existing anti-trust laws are insufficient to prevent monopolies and oligopolies. They might point to cases like the Microsoft antitrust case in the 1990s, where the company was found to have engaged in anti-competitive practices despite existing laws.

No, and the government should not interfere with the free market

Anti-capitalism ideology opposes the free market and believes in government intervention to prevent the concentration of power in the hands of a few corporations. Historical examples include the opposition to the merger of Time Warner and AT&T, which anti-capitalists argue would lead to reduced competition and higher prices for consumers.
