How is "corporate right" defined? I don't know that much about how corporations expressed political positions in the 20th century, but what would we call FAANG today? They're certainly corporate, but don't seem very "right". Or are they "right" by default because they're corporate?
In any case, corporations seeking policy favorable to their cause from big government tends to appear leftist in that it is similar to what the leftist on the street wants - the government engineering the society towards some outcome as a priority over protecting the liberty of the individual.
I'm trying to sort this out in my own head. I know we normally think of business as "right", but it seems that businesses transform in to leftist behavior when the government is of a size and inclination to make winners and losers.
