Default Economics Question

I came across this question on a political test:

A genuine free market requires restrictions on the ability of predator multinationals to create monopolies?

What would you say in response to the question?

That a genuine free market requires restrictions against anybody, not just predator multinationals, from creating monopolies. Free market calls for competition and that is contrary to what monopolies create.

free market isn't free from any restrictions, it is free from import taxes, thats all that means. For example, I wanted to start a shirt company. I started talking to a manufacturer in China, who gave me incredibly low prices. Then I found out that there is a 26.7% import tax to the United States. (Now I'm looking to Mexico).

Genuinely free = No Restrictions which is why America is going down the shitter. The World Traitor Organization endorses Free Trade in which actually isnt trade. It's using slave labor in asia and stuffing the big pockets of the corporations while Middle Class America is left jobless.

I would say that a true int'l monopoly would have to be an "ogolopily" in order to assure it's own existance as such.( think I misspelled it) but "ogolopily."
