Roger – This is an ongoing gripe of mine as many readers know. I am at a loss to understand why or how it is that corporations are consistently called “right wing.” They are 100% useless in the culture war, they only favor free trade when it benefits them otherwise they are perfectly happy to advocate protectionism, subsidies whatever. They fund their enemies — GreenPeace, NAACP, etc — and often sell-out their friends. And yet, partly because of the hangover of Marxism which demands that corporations be agents of the Right and reaction, we’re supposed to believe that corporations are steadfastly rightwing.

Anyway, I want to write a big piece for the mag some day on this and it also will be a major chapter of my book. So, I’m asking readers to help me with my ongoing file. If you know of any articles, papers, studies, anecdotes, statistics etc which might fit into a discussion of the myth of the rightwing corporation please send them to [email protected].

And for the record, [email protected] is still my main email address but I use the other one because it’s much easier organizationally and my JonahNRO account keeps overflowing.
