The Left Right Paradigm is Over: Its You vs. Corporations
Not some new revelation but good to see the thought being shared.

But my bottom line is this: If you see the world in terms of Left & Right, you really aren’t seeing the world at all . . .
Mobay,
The definitions of left and right are not precise and mean different things to different people. I think I can still see the whole world, or at least try my best, and still define it into left and right components.
Define left as those who believe in fairness and equality and individual liberty.
Define right as those who believe in greed, selfishness and the concentration of power.
I think that works in a very basic form.
A majority of individuals fall into the former category.
Corporations mostly fall into the latter category. But they have their allys in individuals, witting and unwitting.
do you not see the corporate take over of the government. who got bailed out and who got stuck with the bill, while the two parties blame each other the corporations, banks and their bought and paid for elected officials are destroying this country. Nafta, who got cheaper labor and who lost their jobs, the wars, who is over there dying and who is raking it in!!! the stimulus and qe1 and 2 helped who get richer and who is stuck paying for it!!!!

You're right that the corporations are a big part of our problem but they wouldn't be such a large problem without their allys on the right. Those are the people who provide the votes to elect the corporate minions to do their work in the congress, the legislatures and the executive offices of government.
You won't change the average corporation's behavior but you might get some of the right wingers to do a little more thinking and break off their allegiance.
