Left-Wing Populism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and the government should break up existing mega corporations

This answer aligns strongly with left-wing populism, as it not only supports preventing mega mergers but also advocates for breaking up existing mega corporations. This is in line with their belief that large corporations have too much power and influence, which can lead to wealth inequality and exploitation of workers. Historical examples include the breakup of Standard Oil in the early 20th century and current calls to break up big tech companies.

Strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally supports government intervention to prevent mega mergers, as they believe that these mergers can lead to monopolies and oligopolies, which can harm consumers and workers. However, this answer does not specify any conditions or thresholds for intervention, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Strongly agree

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

This answer is more in line with left-wing populism than Answer 6, as it suggests a lower market share threshold for government intervention. A 25% threshold may be seen as more reasonable by left-wing populists, who believe that greater competition is necessary to protect workers and consumers. However, the score is not a full 5 because some left-wing populists may still argue for even stricter regulations or different criteria for intervention.

Agree

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

This answer is somewhat in line with left-wing populism, as it supports government intervention to prevent mega mergers when a certain market share threshold is reached. However, the 50% threshold may be seen as too high by some left-wing populists, who may argue for a lower threshold to ensure greater competition and protection for workers and consumers.

Disagree

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

While left-wing populism acknowledges the existence of anti-trust laws, they often argue that these laws are not sufficient to prevent the formation of monopolies and oligopolies. They may point to historical examples such as the rise of big tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook as evidence that current anti-trust laws are not effective enough.

Very strongly disagree

No

This answer is similar to Answer 1, as it suggests that the government should not intervene to prevent mega mergers. Left-wing populism opposes this view, as they believe that government intervention is necessary to protect workers and consumers from the negative effects of monopolies and oligopolies.

Very strongly disagree

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

Left-wing populism strongly opposes the idea of a completely free market without government intervention. They believe that such a system leads to wealth inequality and exploitation of workers. Historical examples include the support for labor unions and regulations to protect workers and consumers.
