Troll farms are associated with those who have more money than committed activists. Whatever you may think of the left, it tends to have the opposite. - maybe the vague center left at the level of Jeff Bezos could that but even here, you have money proportionate to committed followers.

the opposite of the military industrial complex

There's no money in anti-militarism. antiwar.com is a libertarian (ie right) website but it has survive on donations. Troll farm pay for opinions, that's a pretty specific thing.

Edit: Reading the article, this farm apparently supported some "left wing" causes. But basically it comes down to money.
