Has it occurred to you that "capital" is not a unified entity and that different corporations have clashing interests?  The Net Neutrality battle, which is fundamentally a clash between Comcast and Google, is a great example.  I hate it when people put "corporations" or "Corporate America" like it's one vast entity.

Al's going to hate that I'm posting this while masquerading as him.  Sad

There are a handful of exceptions sure, but they generally all have the same interests.

It's definitely one of my pet peeves when people talk about corporate power and influence on government as if it's an automatically bad thing.

For the most part it is.

You are however correct that not all "capital" and businesses have the same interests in mind. It's much like referring to "the media" as one consistent entity, which is a big pet peeve of mine.
