A massive shift to the left won't help. That's the opposite of what you'd want.

No, I'd prefer things to just stay as they are actually, but in an environment of increasing authoritarianism, no, I would not want a shift further to the right because then that just results in a super corporation controlling all wealth and using the formidable arm of government to destroy opposition.

As long as there is a large government that the left can control (e.g. via democracy) you can expect there to always be a shift further and further toward the left & larger government e.g. US for the last century or Soviet Russia.

Large government is necessary on the left and awful on the right.
