Corporations once pushed rightist values, but now push leftist values, because inclusivity & social justice have become status symbols, and so are hip among the top consumer demographics. Values are now brands. Socialism is now capitalism’s slave (or is capitalism socialism’s?)

Inclusivity/social justice are values of socialism, along with diversity, etc, all of which are now championed by corporations to appear more cosmopolitan and woo the most lucrative demographics. (And sure, corporations hate socialism, but they *love* pretending to like it)

Yes, socialism is an economic model. But it is built on political foundations (i.e. the idea that everyone is equal - hence inclusivity and social justice). So there are values inextricably entwined with socialism, just as self-interest/freedom are entwined with LF capitalism.

No, I didn't argue that. I said socialism is built on the principle that people are equal, hence social justice and inclusivity are values of socialism (not socialist values -- big difference).
