Why nobody has made the correlation that leftism = corporatism = conformity.

Corporations can make leftists dance to their tune at any time because the typical leftist has been primed by decades of a leftist education and media system that convinces them if they follow their tune, they're both on the right side of history and are unique, brave individuals.

Of course, nobody sees the irony of millions of people taking their cues from massive multinational corporations as being a statement of individuality, but that's leftist thinking in general. Conform to the non-conformity of society.
