I think the feds, as well as Capital in a broader sense, have played a big part in the trajectory of the academic left. They really can't have universities being hotbeds of Marxist materialism, but it's fine if they're filled with radlib wokescolds whose main concerns are basically just not being mean in interpersonal encounters.
One of the funniest things I've learned is that the CIA supported and pushed abstract art because it was seen as a way to push individualism and idealism.
