QUESTION: Why do so many so-called libertarians want negative freedom, that they purport to be for freedom but then are totally fine with corporate private entities acting like a government hierarchy to regulate anything an employee or worker does? This is the opposite of Republicanism.

Also, neoliberals say that the freer the market the freer the people. But they don't tell you that they push corporate monopolies which erase competitiom. There needs to be a balance and clearly neoliberals are faux libertarians. What is your take on Welath of Nations and classical liberalism? Adam Smith understood that if you let the marker work it self out w/ zero regulations, eventually, price fixing would become an issue.
