I am not sure I understand this last sentence, but the
one before is implausible. The imperial working class
simply could not have been integrated into imperial
society unless it's been allowed to climb closer to
the
better end of the alienation stick. The average
British or US worker is no more "existentially
negated" than the pardoned genius of leveraged buyouts
Milken or the chief editor of London Times.

Bingo! So the centrist is the one who knows that the
center holds, and very much so.
Leon did smile you, Nestor, just about the last time,
when he conscientiously envisioned the 'unlikely'
outcome of WW2 and a 'new program' for the 'slaves' of
the post-war world.
