Hoffer told Sevareid in 1967 that America was a business culture, a mass culture. It was the first country in the world where the masses ran things, free to do what wanted, not run by elites.
From this I infer that Hoffer anticipated that a society of maverizing individualists would run things, and be the only source of real and lasting equality.
Among such a mass of people, no elite could gain ascendancy or real power.
Elites, class society, institutional living, hierarchical roles, big government, group-living, inequality all are part of the same malaise.
Progressive intellectuals and Leftist elitist claim to side with the workers, the immigrants, the poor and people of color. This is a ruse. They do not care for the downtrodden, but use them as a means of seizing power.
These intellectuals want an elite to run things in America, and the individualistic, capitalist middle class has repudiated them. In revenge, they seek to destroy the middle class, make all power and government wards again, ruled by an elite.
The Left seeks to bring tyranny to us, and wipe out liberty and individual citizen independence and self-sufficiency.
