Neutral

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

While this answer acknowledges the existence of anti-trust laws, it still implies a level of government intervention in the market. Libertarians would prefer no government intervention at all, but some may accept the current laws as a compromise. The score is neutral because it does not fully align with libertarian principles, but it does not directly contradict them either.

Strongly disagree

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

Similar to answer 6, this answer calls for government intervention in the market based on a specific market share threshold, which goes against libertarian principles of minimal government intervention. However, some libertarians may accept this as a compromise to prevent monopolies, so the score is not a full -5. A historical example is the opposition to the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, which sought to prevent anti-competitive practices.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarianism is fundamentally against government intervention in the market, including preventing mega mergers. They believe that the market should be allowed to operate freely without interference. A historical example is the opposition to the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, which was designed to prevent monopolies and promote competition.
