I thought of you when I read this quote from "Leviathan and Its Enemies: Mass Organization and Managerial Power in Twentieth-Century America" by Samuel Francis, Fran Griffin, Jerry Woodruff, Paul Gottfried -
"The suggestion that a middle-American force of resistance to the managerial elite might exist perhaps came from Burnham himself, who noted in National Review in 1969 that “the broad middle mass of the people” who go to work every day “are holding the country together” and “sustaining the governing elite,” despite their own non-managerial ideological outlook.[7] He noted that right-leaning political appeals had some success with this “broad middle mass,” but warned presciently that “in their current flirtation with blue-collar workers, most conservative intellectuals and politicians do not seem to realize that this liaison could be prolonged only with the blessing of neo-populist social and economic policies.”[8]"
