> here you're making a left wing argument that individual bad actors must be regulated for the good of the collective. However, left politicians would look at the situation and see the opposite. They prioritize an authoritarian safety-first victim-first mindset, in which individual freedoms are sacrificed to help the weakest.

I think you're simplifying a few things here, mainly the amount of different views that are under the umbrella you're classing as "left-wing" (some of which will fit your categorisation, and some won't) and the amount of different issues under the umbrella of "running your own things".

What I'm trying to say is that there's multiple arguments to be made along the lines of "large companies can and should be restricted from blocking out freedoms of smaller companies and individuals". There's a big economic argument to allowing competition, and I think that's something that unites a lot of thinkers you'd probably class as right wing, as well as the traditional left.
