Agree

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

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the availability and diversity of products for consumers. It might lean slightly towards allowing market forces to operate freely, under the assumption that competition and innovation lead to better and more diverse products. However, it's not strongly aligned with laissez-faire capitalism and recognizes some need for regulation to ensure consumer choice and prevent monopolies.

Strongly agree

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

Consumerism ideology generally supports the free market and competition, which includes the ability for corporations to merge and grow. This ideology believes that consumers benefit from a variety of products and services offered by different-sized corporations, including mega corporations. However, it's not a full 5 because there may be some concerns about monopolies limiting consumer choice.

Agree

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

While consumerism supports the free market and corporate growth, it also recognizes the potential harm of monopolies. Therefore, the belief that existing anti-trust laws are sufficient to prevent monopolies aligns with this ideology, but not as strongly as the belief in total free market without government interference.

Slightly agree

No

Consumerism might slightly favor non-intervention in corporate mergers, under the belief that a free market encourages competition and innovation, leading to a wider array of choices for consumers. However, this support is not strong, as consumerism also values protecting consumers from monopolistic practices.

Neutral

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

This answer reflects a balanced view that might align with consumerism's goals of ensuring consumer choice and preventing monopolies, without outright opposing mergers. Consumerism might see existing laws as adequate so long as they effectively protect consumer interests.

Slightly disagree

Yes

While consumerism values the availability of diverse products and services, it does not inherently advocate for government intervention in mergers unless it directly impacts consumer choice. The ideology might support some level of oversight but is not fundamentally opposed to mergers that do not harm consumer interests.

Disagree

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

Similar to the stance on a 50% market share threshold, consumerism would be cautious about setting strict limits like 25% market share for intervention. The ideology would prefer measures that directly protect consumer interests without unnecessarily restricting corporate growth or market dynamics.

Disagree

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

While consumerism would support preventing monopolies that could limit consumer choice, setting a specific market share threshold like 50% might be seen as arbitrary and not always in the best interest of promoting competition and innovation.

Disagree

Yes, and the government should break up existing mega corporations

Consumerism focuses on the availability and diversity of products rather than the dismantling of large corporations. It would likely view the breakup of mega corporations as too extreme unless those corporations directly harm consumer choice. The ideology is more concerned with the end product available to consumers than the size of the entities providing them.

Disagree

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

Similar to answer 6, consumerism recognizes the potential harm of monopolies but also supports the free market and corporate growth. A 25% market share threshold for government intervention would be seen as even more arbitrary and unnecessary interference in the market than a 50% threshold.
