Not that it's the only Democratic Party creating corporatism in our country, but I know for a fact that the vast majority of students at my university who vote for Democrats is because they say they're going to give everyone free healthcare, more money for education, etc. Somehow, even though they're in college, these kids actually think things are supposed to be free and that the government is somehow getting smaller because they're making things "cheaper". It's kind of hard to explain since it doesn't make sense logically, but I understand where they're getting everything wrong. I don't have any sympathy for them because the ignorance is due to their own unwillingness to learn concepts past what they were taught in high school.

As we all know here, the Constitution allows for corporatism, and that shrinking the size of government back to, say, the Articles of Confederation or less than that, gets rid of corporatism.

But some people don't know that. As a percentage, what's a good guestimate of voters who willfully vote for big government because they know it's corporatism, vs. the percentage of anti-corporatist voters who vote for big government ignorant of the fact that it causes corporatism?

There are really 3 types of voters, the communists, the corporatists, and the individualist/capitalists. I think we have a greater chance of converting the communists, personally, because libertarianism is actually fairly populist, but it's not corporatist.. Unfortunately, I haven't had good luck with converting those on the far-left.
