There are many prominent left-wing theorists who are professors, and there are a decent amount of left-wing theories that come out of the academy. How does this happen? It seems pretty contradictory to me, but so is capitalism.

    because leftism is so correct its literally impossible to study the world without cedeing a ton of ground

    but as yanqui said they don't give them power so its quite safe for capitalism to let them analyse and occassionally come up with ideas can help the ruling class
