Burnham held that Managerial revolution would occur. He influenced Buckley and many others.I have not seen anyone in Republican or Democrat parties speak against the idea. McCain Feingold and Citizen’s United enabled it IMO. Would love corrections or thoughts.

It is Holy Writ on this site that McCain/Feingold was a bad thing. That was at a time when we were misguided into thinking that corporations were the last bastion of conservatism among the major institutions of US society.

We now see that corporations are woke and that since McCain/Feingold was repealed they have gone on a spending spree to undermine all conservative and even moderate values.

What we seem to have now is a reverse-fascism, i.e. a fascism not where some tinpot dictator tells corporations what to do, but where the corporations tell some tinplate government what to do.

We cheered the "conservative" Supreme Court for knocking down McCain/Feingold when it was actually a corporate-whore Supreme Court that did the bidding of their pimps.
