I have no interest in communist ideology. But James Burnham is one of the premiere intellectuals of the american conservative movement of the late 20'th century. James Burnham was the most commonly published writer in the magazine called National Review from 1957 to 1970. That was a period of time when the conservative movement was really being made and National Review was it's biggest center of discussion by far. James Burnham said that the managerial class was gaining too much power, becoming arrogant and abusive towards other classes of people and that if trends continued it would be a real problem that would challenge freedom and prosperity for americans. Read his book 'Managerial Revolution'. It was one of his big ideas in his life. and he was as influential as any other intellectual in the conservative movement.

But the conservative movement today is a shell of what it was when Burnham was writing for National Review IMHO. We are polluted by Republican cheerleaders IMHO.
