The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) today announced that its membership now includes 15 new elected officials. This is in addition to 20 elected already in offices around the United States. On Tuesday the DSA was represented in 25 elections across 13 different states. Four of those running have national endorsements from the DSA, and many others were supported by our local chapters.

Do corporations share this trait with humanity?

That’ll depend on what you mean by “conscience”.
Psychopathy is a real thing, and we know that psychopaths are disproportionately represented amongst the ruling class.
No.
A key lesson from post-WWII social psych is that institutional distributed responsibility breeds atrocities.
They’re “just following orders”.
