In my mind, the upcoming friction is going to be increasingly one of corporatism vs. ethnonationalism.

The first is the natural home of some 'conservatives' and all progressives, as government is merely the largest corporation of all. The second is a built-in feature of humanity and a push it for will become more obvious as we see more resource depletion and wealth gradients causing massive displacement of populations.

In a corporatist country, you'll always have greater wealth disparity due to the opportunities given in the structure of the place. Some of the richest people in the world lived in the Soviet Union. You'll also see an ever increasing load of top-down control in order to keep the lid on.

'Right' vs 'left' is something of false choice. I think it's more a matter of culture forcing government or government forcing culture.

The key word being 'hate.'

You realize that immigration and internationalism are the babies of corporatism. Cheap labor and unlimited customers.

Perhaps some corporations are in favor of internationalism for the sake of profit, but corporations aren't friends just because they are corporations. They compete with each other. The political far-left however, is actively trying to bring down the west by gradually stripping whole nations of their freedom via international organizations.

You should start with the White House, methinks.
