They are a microcosm of the US, a Corporatocracy. The left wing/right wing construct is largely just a way to get people riled up in tribalism so they ignore the fact they're just voting for whatever group of corporations they want to enrich at each election. No one actually gives a crap about the causes they afford lip service to. Of course, this is paired with convenient nationalism to conjure up blind support for corporate ambition abroad, as evidenced by a bunch of players in literal tears during the national anthem at this year's superbowl.
