This kind of thinking is associated with 70s New Leftism and is mostly wrong. You can spot it because it says every problem is caused by "corporations" or "billionaires". I think it's interesting to look at how it's actually different from Marxism, which basically says today's small business owners are the reactionary class, not the big ones.

The reason old people are powerful is 1. they vote in every election 2. they have lots of free time 3. they own land 4. there's a lot of them. They're not called baby boomers for no reason.

I think the main reason you see activists advocate against "corporations" is because the activists want the government to privatize everything in a different way by having nonprofits run it, which are not "corporations" but are usually even more corrupt.
