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.
