“At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it ought to be obvious that the dominant powers and authorities in the United States and other Western countries are either indifferent to the accelerating racial and cultural dispossession of the historic peoples of America and Europe or are actually in favor of it.” — Sam Francis
Among the many good things that paleoconservative Sam Francis left to us was his analysis of the “managerial elite.” Francis drew his understanding of this concept from James Burnham, who in the 1930s moved beyond his Marxist views to offer a competing theory known as the theory of the managerial revolution. In this view, as traditional capitalism and its ruling class passed from the scene, managers—or more properly “technocrats”—would replace them (p. 384). More specifically, it would include “administrators, experts, directing engineers, production executives, propaganda specialists, [and] technocrats” (p. 385).
(All numbered quotes are drawn from Francis’s “Why the American Ruling Class Betrays Its Race and Civilization,” in Race and the American Prospect. See here and here for further reading.)
Francis laid out the problem starkly:
. . . the realities of twentieth and twenty-first century power that do in fact explain what must be one of the most significant and astonishing truths of human history—that an entire ruling class has abandoned and in effect declared war upon the very population and civilization from which it is itself drawn. (p. 377)
Further, he noted, these assaults on whites “are not the results of democratic majority rule or popular consent” (p. 377).
What explains it then? Francis argued that the classical theory of elites, along with James Burnham’s theory of the managerial revolution, do the job (p. 378). “The two essential characteristics of an elite-ruling class are what may be called Unity and Dominance—unity in that it needs to cohere around its interest and to agree on what its interests are and (in general) how to pursue them, and dominance in that it must be able to make its interests prevail over those of rival groups” (p. 382).
As Francis saw it,
The major common interest that unites the managerial class is its need to extend and perpetuate the demand for the skills and functions on which its power and social rewards depend. The managers pursue that interest by seeking to ensure that the mass organizations they control, which require the skills and functions that only the managers can provide, are preserved and extended. Large corporations must displace and dominate small businesses. A large, centralized, bureaucratic state must displace and dominate small, localized, and decentralized government. Mass media and communications conglomerates and mass universities must displace and dominate smaller, local newspapers, publishers, colleges, and schools. Moreover, the elites that controlled these older and smaller institutions must also be displaced as the ruling class of the larger society and their ideology and cultural values discredited and rejected. (p. 386)
Francis clearly advanced the argument that the managers of these larger institutions are responsible for the destruction of the traditional white societies that came before them. Those old elites “championed traditional religious and moral beliefs and institutions, the importance of the patriarchal family and local community, and the value of national, regional, racial, and ethnic identity, as well as the virtues of the capitalist ethnic—hard work, frugality, personal honesty and integrity, individual initiative, postponement of gratification” (p. 388).
If he was right, then we need not search for another primary cause of the collapse of traditional Western societies. In particular, he offered a competing view to that of Kevin MacDonald and his idea that Jews had unleashed a “culture of critique” on white societies. For Francis, the existence of such a withering critique is not in question; rather, for Francis, the source was and is the managerial elite.
“The managerial ideology,” he wrote, “also demonized the old elite and its institutions and values as ‘obsolete,’ ‘backward,’ ‘repressive,’ ‘exploitative,’ and ‘narrow-minded’” (p. 389). Thus, it had no compunction about destroying the traditional family, local community and religion, or traditional cultural and moral codes. Nor did it have a need for ethnic or racial identities (as far as whites were concerned). In fact, the whole nation-state was superfluous (p. 390).
(I might interject here that since Francis was talking about a historical process not driven by particular racial or ethnic concerns, we would expect similar results from non-white regions which have incorporated the techno-bureaucratic system Francis discussed. Japan and other Asian nations would now fit this mold, yet we observe not even the stirring of any desire to dispossess traditional same-race elites. With a combined population of nearly 200 million, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have substantially adopted modern corporate-bureaucratic structures, yet this has affected their racial composition not at all. China, with its one-billion-plus population, remains overwhelming Han Chinese and also shows no signs of changing.)
That Francis does not attribute this powerful attack on traditional society to be the work of Jews does not mean he saw no role for Jews. On the contrary, he had a very idiosyncratic interpretation of the role Jews played.
In his section “The Agenda of Dispossession,” Francis acknowledged the detailed work done by Kevin MacDonald to document the Jewish role in the dispossession of whites. But for Francis, the Jewish aspiration to cultural and political supremacy over whites is merely fortuitous, for “the Jewish agenda and that of the managerial elite are in this respect perfectly congruent with each other.”
Now a man of Francis’s rare intelligence and insight is not about to downplay the vast role played by Jews in America today. Rather than attributing dominance to this group, however, he takes an alternative tack: “Jews within the managerial elite serve as the cultural vanguard of the managerial class. . . . perform[ing] a support function” (p. 397).
So we’ve reached the crux of the issue: Are Jews subordinate to the (implied) white managerial elite, or are they dominant? This very question divides white nationalists to this day.
Here I will argue that Francis’s belief in Jewish subordination was wrong, but it was intentionally wrong. Put another way, in “Why the American Ruling Class Betrays Its Race and Civilization” and in his other writings, he was writing esoterically because he knew the consequences of writing too candidly about Jewish power.
Consider that Francis noted the new role of managerial bureaucrats in government and the political parties in displacing the previous White, non-Jewish power holders. This new governmental domination is mirrored by that occurring in the universities, foundation, think tanks, national newspapers and magazines, as well as visual mass media. But hasn’t Jewish dominance in these spheres has been so massively documented (by MacDonald, for example) that it would seem “managerial elite” is practically synonymous with “Jewish elite”?
When reading the following list proffered by Francis, does not the informed reader perforce construct a mental image of Jewish dominance: “public bureaucracies, mass labor unions, political parties, mass media, financial institutions, universities, foundations, and other organizations that were immense in size, scale, and technical complexity . . .” (p. 385).
Two institutions that might fall outside the immediate ken of Jewish domination are large corporations involved in manufacturing, and the military (although the last time I checked, Norton Schwartz headed the US Air Force, becoming the third Jew in the top ranks of the military, alongside Lieutenant General Steven Blum, head of the National Guard, and General Robert Magnus, the assistant commandant of the Marines. This is according to The Jewish Forward.)
Unless it wasn’t clear before, the recent economic meltdown has largely proven the dominance of Wall St. capital over individual corporations, particularly those in manufacturing (see this blog for a short description). As for the military, the heavily Jewish neoconservatives have successfully made the US military subordinate to their will. Again, both of these claims need not be demonstrated here for they have been demonstrated so well in other familiar and accessible places.
Francis also listed non-white ethnic and racial groups which are encouraged to openly pursue their own interests, such as the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus and so on. In a footnote, he acknowledged the contribution to Race and the American Prospect made by Kevin MacDonald on the Jewish creation and control of the NAACP. As editor of the book, Francis simply cannot plead ignorance. In the same way that MacDonald shows how the NAACP was a front group in the Jewish assault on white society, so too can we show that many of the other managerial groups cited by Francis have been dominated by Jews. Jews were not and are not merely performing a support function.
A good friend who is following these debates sums up the situation well: “Jewish influence is so pervasive and powerful that other factors can hardly be said to be truly independent. It is not now possible to live in a vacuum, a world that is unaffected by their influence.”
He continues:
I’d like to know what force is larger and more menacing than they are? The only even remotely plausible candidates would quite simply have to be secret societies, because there is no force that is possible to detect in the daylight that is bigger, more powerful, or more menacing. And secret societies are of course notoriously difficult to trace or, in some cases (like the Illuminati) even to prove that they exist. So, to the extent that the Jews are not the tool/pawn of some larger force that is very difficult to verify, it is reasonable to conclude that the Jews are the greatest power in the world today (and the world of the past hundred years). I certainly haven’t seen anything in Francis’s work that has convinced me otherwise.
A similarly well-informed friend adds,
Furthermore, Jews socialize to create a certain elite—the “beheading” of the natural elite. [See my own essay on that topic here.] Their ability to control discourse [as in Israel Shamir’s Masters of Discourse
It is pointless to argue with philo-Semites of any stripe. Even philo-Semites would be different in the absence of Jews: they’d have to identify a different god to worship and center their lives around!
Again, this position is a common one among those who have studied The Jewish Question at length. Such observers—properly, in my view—have little patience with theories that posit Jews as supporting actors or as people who are overtaken by impersonal forces that supposedly ride herd over us humans.
Sam Francis died nearly five years ago, so he missed the continued rise of the Zionists and neocons, and the transparently Jewish-backed elevation of a non-White to the Presidency, and the present econmic tumult, with its famed minority mortgage meltdown, the bankruptcy of General Motors, and the bailouts to Wall St., followed by the obscene bonuses paid to those bankers. Had he lived, he may indeed have begun to write more openly about The Jewish Problem.
Personally, I sympathize greatly with someone in a situation such as his. He played by the rules, earning advanced degrees at good universities, then went quietly to work in the halls of power, all the while honing his writing skills.
When the time came, he moved to an editorial position at The Washington Times, but as Joe Sobran noted, Sam “stayed at the Times for nine years until he was abruptly fired for speaking (on his own time) at an American Renaissance Conference. The comments in his speech were not at issue. The newspaper objected to his having appeared at the gathering.”
Francis knew the line he was walking and did his best to stay honest to himself and to his readers. He also knew the risks—and paid for taking them.
Still, he had critics among white nationalists who felt he should have done more to expose the threat emanating from the Jewish quarter. One of critics was Victor J. Gerhard, Esq. who posted on VNN this exchange with Francis. Chided for not naming Jews, Francis replied, “You simply cannot go much further than I have already gone and expect to be published at all in anything like mainstream media.”
Gerhard upped the ante, however, demanding of Francis:
Join those on the radical right who are not afraid to tell the whole truth. I am not asking you to do ANYTHING I have not done. I lost my job as an Attorney, I have friends going to jail on made up charges, I’ve had my phone tapped, I get the super search at every airport, but I am a FREE MAN! I also write columns — they don’t get published mainstream, but thousands of people read them. You could do a hundred times better.
I realize this is a lot to ask, but screw the money and respectability. What do I want? White Power! Your entire body of work does little to counter an anti-Jewish explanation of American Politics. I believe almost all you have written; yet it contradicts most of MacDonald not at all. Your writings try to explain why and how this managerial elite became so alienated and hostile to traditional America. It partially explains the alienation, but does little to explain the hostility, the outright hatred, that these elites have for people who are basically members of their family. Only a non-White group could have such hatred for Whites, and such an obsession with their destruction. Only by understanding that the most influential part of the managerial elite is Jewish can one finally understand this contradiction in your work. [emphasis added]
Sam shot back:
I don’t deny that Jews have power — certainly in the media and cultural centers generally and in politics through funding, staffing etc. But Jews are not the ruling class in this country (at least not yet). As in many other societies they form a satellite that provides services for the ruling class (tax collecting in Poland, e.g.), but I think they have little interest in becoming the actual ruling class because they have no interest in that as long as their interests are secured.
My entire body of writings over the last 20–25 years is an explanation of how I disagree with and have a somewhat different view of the world than what is frankly a monomaniacal obsession with an omnipotent Jew. [emphasis in the original]
Again, I appreciate that Francis was in a difficult situation. John Derbyshire described it quite well in a remarkable exchange with Joey Kurtzman, a Jewish editor of the website Jewcy.com, asserting:
So far as the consequences of ticking off Jews are concerned: First, I was making particular reference to respectable rightwing journalism, most especially in the U.S. I can absolutely assure you that anyone who made general, mildly negative, remarks about Jews would NOT — not ever again — be published in the Wall Street Journal opinion pages, The Weekly Standard, National Review, The New York Sun, The New York Post, or The Washington Times. I know the actual people, the editors, involved here, and I can assert this confidently.
Note that he never says anything about the truth value of such hypothetical remarks; presumably, even true ones that reflect poorly on the Jews would succeed in getting one banished. That is the point.
The fact is, tactics aimed at the protection and advancement of Whites tried till now have not succeeded. They have failed. Consider again the scope of the problem, outlined here by an incredulous Peter Brimelow:
This is a problem which we see throughout the Western world—an unprecedentedly huge influx of non-traditional immigration. The result of this is that every major Western nation will be a minority in its homeland in the foreseeable future. It takes less time in some places and more time in others, but the calculations can easily be made. . . . What’s so amazing about this transformation is that it has no economic benefit for the traditional people of the Western nations that are voluntarily giving up their identity — and their political power.
As Brimelow phrases it, the question then becomes “Why are these countries doing this to themselves if they are not benefiting their native-born — their own people? . . . How can the founding stock of the country have so completely lost control?”
The answer is that the founding stock—and two hundred million other Euro-Americans—have come under the rule of an alien elite, along with the multitude of non-White minorities which that elite has recruited.
A serious study of this process will reveal that rather than the Managerial Revolution as postulated by Burnham or Francis being responsible, it has been a race-centered progression instituted by organized Jewry and by Jews individually. I think of it as a “promote-punish-purge” process in which perceived Jewish interests are always paramount.
Francis was purged because his writings were pro-white, an unacceptable position to Jews because only THEY among powerful groups may promote group integrity. From the time German Jews arrived in America during the 1800s, they have actively pursued this “promote-punish-purge” campaign, boosting Jewish power and influence, while undermining and destroying that of their current main nemesis, Whites.
The list of those pro-Whites punished and purged is long, and it is hard to reconcile the vehemence of the attacks against them with the desire of the managerial elite to gain and hold power. Ford, Lindbergh, Coughlin, Pound, Eliot, McCarthy, Carto, Pierce, Oliver, Duke, Robertson, Buchanan, Sobran, Irving, Gibson, MacDonald. This list goes on.
Meanwhile, the enemies of Whites—mainly drawn from the ranks of White liberals—have been assiduously promoted for over a century. Ted Kennedy, the public face of the 1965 immigration law betrayal, is but an example.
Had Sam Francis been given his threescore years and ten, I suspect he would have come over to the side of more white nationalists on the Jewish Question and I think he would have done so publicly.
Is it not our duty, then, to honor Dr. Francis’s memory by addressing forthrightly the chief problem facing us today?

This is one of the best articles of it’s kind that I have seen in heap many moons. Goes right to the source. I also believe that Mr Francis would have eventually come around to our side. For some reason I missed it on TOQ.
@ the question then becomes “Why are these countries doing this to themselves if they are not benefiting their own people?”… The answer is that the founding stock and… have come under the rule of an alien elite
If this is the ultimate explanation how would you reply to the European counter-jihadists who, when confronted with the realities of the Jewish takeover of America, say that the importation of millions of Muslims into Western Europe was planned by non-Jews?
Edmund Connelly:
Chechar is right; this formulation is problematic. It provides only part of the answer at best. The alien elite does not operate in a vacuum. They operate with the full cooperation of the founding stock’s elite, especially in the political domain.
The source of Jewry’s power is the Jewish “power triangle:”
1) Banking/Finance
2) Culture/Mass Media
3) Politics
Jews have generally operated behind the scenes in area number 3 and without the benefit of direct access to the levers of power they enjoy in sphere 1 and sphere 2. In the context of American politics in sphere number 2, White Gentiles, not Jews, have inflicted the truly severe damage.
William Aldrich (The Fed).
Woodrow Wilson (The Fed and WW1, a horrific double-blow against European interests).
FDR (WW2).
Ted Kennedy (1965 Immigration).
…all the way to George W Bush (Iraq war, various attempts at amnesty, ect.)…
Explaining this pattern is important for two reasons. First, we need to understand why our elites have been so willing to collaborate with the alien elite so if we win we can ensure that such people are never allowed anywhere near power again. We don’t need a Jew-free ethnostate; we need a Jew-free, race-traitor free state. Second, from a practical and tactical standpoint, it makes it hard to convince people Jewish influence is a fundamental problem when the people in government doing the damage are White Gentiles.
Great observations. I would just add that we know, of course, that it isn’t only Jews – that is to say physical Jews – who are the problem by a long shot. But it is often the simple adoption of Jewish ideas by forces such as the “founding elite” that become every bit as problematic as that which a genuine Jew might carry out himself. In other words, while it is frequently non-Jews we can cite as carrying out anti-White policies(Roosevelt, Bush, Kennedy, et al., it is the alien(re. Jewish) ideas they employ or that influence their decisions that are the real heart of the matter.
Again, the question of exactly WHY Whites go along with, or even promote these ideas is more complex – although the accumulation of money and power(politcal and industrial) almost certainly play the larger part for the eltist White traitors(decendants of the “founding stock, etc.).
@ “…while it is frequently non-Jews we can cite as carrying out anti-White policies… it is the alien (re. Jewish) ideas they employ or that influence their decisions that are the real heart of the matter.”
I have thought about that too. But what worries me is that both the American Civil War and some of the independence wars in Latin America cannot be explained by the brainwashed, Judaized gentile hypothesis. In the case of the white criollo leaders–slang for pure whites in New Spain–, Hidalgo and Bolívar, both traitorously led Indian and/or mulatto and Negro movements against their co-ethnic white Spaniards. At the beginning of the 19th century Jewish influence in New Spain and Venezuela was zero. The Inquisition did a pretty good job in New Spain: we enjoyed three hundred years of a Judenfrei state in America! No, we cannot blame Jewry for the treasonous independent movements of the criollos against their co-ethnic whites.
To boot, Francis’ managerial classes (or O’Meara’s corporate capitalism) cannot be accounted for such treason either since that sort of capitalism was not fully developed here down the South.
The more I think about it the more I believe that something big is escaping the models I have encountered so far in the nationalist literature. I suspect what I have called elsewhere “a monster from the Id” and/or a flaw in the white psyche: out-group altruism.
Impossible to crack the cipher with the current data.
Chechar:
The “out-group altruism” came from Judeo-Christianity. That was the lever needed to block our actions, impotence masked as morality.
A small, racially united, totally focused out-group that worked diligently to shape all of the social control systems, keeping Americans focused on their strength as “individualists,” can accomplish miracles.
“Managerialists,” like Buchanan, never renounced their Trotskyist principles, only the end to which they would be placed. The kinder, gentler Trotskyists of the Gramscian Long March succeeded.
I agree with those who say Francis would be one of us, today.

“Fourmyle” already gave the “quick and dirty” response I would have offered – namely, the ideas propounded by ‘Judeo-Christianity.’ The “Slave-Morality” Nietzsche identified(and explained as a virulently Jewish phenomenon)has been at work in many non-Jews and played a huge part, I believe, in forming many an unwholesome and ultimately dangerous idea, carried out in deed by White men. That these same men should have known better is true to say – but they were seduced by their Jewish “Savior’s” melodious sermons on mounts and similar idiocies.
Of course, that still doesn’t explain all our White forebears’ foibles by any means – but it does explain a lot!
I do agree there is still much to consider though.
*I met Francis about a dozen years back or so and found him interesting and very well-informed. I wonderd then if he would ever come around on the JQ – I still wonder, but some of you might be right…he may have HAD to see and admit it in the end?!?!
Dr. Francis would have come around to our way; he is reaching towards it in “Revolution from the Middle,” but was too locked into the “Let’s Make Conservatism Work, Gang!” school of thought.
As he grew beyond the false flag/facade of CONservatism, he was moving towards the organic solution of Race as the primary organizing principle for social orders.
He was badly used by the CONservatives, but had no other home to go to.
We have the answer to that, with the Northwest Republic.

It might be worth noting that Anthony M. Ludovici wrote of the Jewish problem in England:
“Would there be any sense in now excluding the ethnic Jew, when his Gentile counterpart, his Gentile pupil and slavish imitator is everywhere enthroned by his side, and in greater numbers than the Jews themselves?
“Is there any sense in excluding the creator of a culture if you retain his values?
“Modern English life is bristling with evidence of the victory of the Judaized Englishman and of Jewish values. What sense, then, would there be in so empty a gesture as excluding the ethnic Jew and retaining his Gentile understudy? What purpose would be served in excluding the Jew and in continuing to worship at the shrine of his idols?
“No exclusion of the Jews from the administrative or cultural life of England, therefore, could be more than a piece of shallow, hysterical patriotism if it did not contemplate and include the far more fundamental but infinitely more difficult task of freeing the country of its wrong values. And all bodies of Englishmen who seriously wish to recover English civilization at this stage cannot be regarded as any more than emotional and hysterical flag-wavers if they do not see the compelling need of that infinitely difficult task — the task of accompanying any gesture of organized reform by a frontal attack upon the Judaized elements in their kith and kin and their own Judaized values.”
http://www.revilo-oliver.com/Writers/Ludovici/The_Jews_in_England_part6.html
Those are some very revealing quotations from Ludovici, White Republican. These statements clearly cut to the chase in trying to understand the toxified and enslaved Anglo mindset, that otherwise presents such an enigma. The poisoned mentality of a huge section of our people is a terrible obstacle in trying to “save” such a people from themselves. This is the ‘pod’ factor that Chechar alludes to, and it largely explains why our people’s values are so inverted. Abnormal abstractions have been ‘normalized’, in the minds or erstwhile normal and intelligent people, without them having a clue. Religious superstition, and moral universalism were greatly compounded by the Puritan interlude, and appears to factor large in the development of the Anglo psyche in the last several centuries, as well as the flummoxed White mindset of today. In such a Pogoesque situation, how do create a revolution in thought amongst such people?
Well said Junghans, White Republican, Uncle Fritz and Fourmyle of Ceres. We now need a deep 21st century thinker of the caliber of Evola or Spengler that synthesizes all of it, including MacDonald’s group surviving strategies, into a single paradigm that explains it all. (But I still fear that Id monster, in reference to the 1956 film Forbidden Planet: an unconscious force that destroyed an advanced civilization.)
It’s been half-a-decade (damn) since this post was published – and a *very* good post at that – but I want to offer my input on the quote from the article below:
“Here I will argue that Francis’s belief in Jewish subordination was wrong, but it was intentionally wrong. Put another way, in “Why the American Ruling Class Betrays Its Race and Civilization” and in his other writings, he was writing esoterically because he knew the consequences of writing too candidly about Jewish power.”
There’s no question that laying Jewish power bare as a syndicated columnist would have had drastic professional repercussions for Francis but in the aforementioned article he describes Jews as the intellectual and cultural vanguard (which they are) of the managerial state who, through their ownership of the MSM are tasked with legitimizing the state in its current form to the masses via the careful control and manipulation of information as well as the curious case of “neo-conservatism”; which has its origins in *The Public Interest* – a policy journal devoted to curbing the excesses of LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ programs which eschewing discussions of foreign policy. Of course, as the decades progressed Neoconservatism took on a decidedly Jewish feel as it enjoined the interventionist Cold War Liberalism of Scoop Jackson and the open-borders/free trade/mass-immigration/deficit spending of deracinated Western capitalism. The point I’m trying to make (and any feedback would be much appreciated) is that the concept of the managerial state as this kind of homogenizing blob which deems its citizens nothing more than interchangeable cogs in maximizing tax revenue and “economic growth” – however defined and the Jewish intellectual movements as described in *The Culture of Critique* aren’t mutually exclusive. All of the movements described emerged out of the friction between Jews and gentiles and were ways through which Jews tried to sublimate their ethnic difference by creating a boogeyman that BOTH Jews and gentiles could project their grievances onto (Marx – Communism to liberate man from Capitalism, Freud – Psychoanalysis to liberate man from sexual repression ,etc.). Boasian anthropology, by far the most successful and pernicious of the movements, denied the reality of Race in shaping Man and his Civilization instead promoting theories of cultural relativism which posit Man as subservient to the culture of his Civilization. Accepting to be true this simultaneously reinvents Judaism as a Civic Religion; not the ethnoreligious group which takes great pains to maintain its racial purity that it is as well as legitimizing the ever-expanding Federal Leviathan (after all, if Man is infinitely malleable all that’s needed to make Heaven on Earth is one more government program!) in addition to mass immigration (naturally a plus for the paranoid and neurotic) for the benefit of capitalists whose loyalty lies not with their nation-state but in the Almighty Dollar. Although Francis might have downplayed the role of Jews in some of his writings to a more “acceptable” degree he didn’t steer clear of the Jewish Question. His critique of the Managerial State in the dispossession of the White race both in the European homeland and her colonies dovetails perfectly with MacDonald’s critique of Jewish intellectual movements in defending the particular interests that Jews have while simultaneously denying White Europeans the same privilege – which Francis *himself* claims in “Why the American Ruling Class Betrays Its Race and Civilization”:
“Second, however, because the new managerial elite rejects and destroys the mechanisms of the old elite that excluded other ethnic, racial, and religious groups, such groups are often able to permeate the managerial power structure and acquire levels of power unavailable to them in pre-managerial society and to advance their own interests and agendas by means of the managerial instruments of power. These ethnic forces, articulating their own strong racial, ethnic, cultural, or religious consciousness, invoke managerial liberal slogans of “equality,” “tolerance,” “diversity,” etc., to challenge traditional white dominance but increasingly aspire to cultural and political supremacy themselves, excluding whites and rejecting and dismantling the institutional fabric of their society. Kevin MacDonald has documented in immense detail how Jewish groups seeking to advance their own ethnically based agendas have accomplished this,[30] and since a central part of those agendas include the eradication of the historic ethnic, racial, and religious barriers and beliefs that excluded Jews and were perceived as leading to their persecution, the Jewish agenda and that of the managerial elite are in this respect perfectly congruent with each other. Indeed, so prominent have Jews become within the elite (especially its cultural sector) that it is fair to say that Jews within the managerial elite serve as the cultural vanguard of the managerial class, providing ideological justification of its structure and policies, disseminating its ideological formulas to the mass population, formulating and often implementing specific policies, and providing much of the specialized educational training essential to the transmission and perpetuation of the technocratic skills of the elite. In this respect, Jews perform a support function (in this case, a cultural and ideological one rather than tax-collecting or money-lending) for the largely non-Jewish elite similar to those they performed for various European aristocracies in the past (e.g., in early modern Poland). Thus the emergence of “neo-conservatism” in recent decades reflects not only the Jewish interests and identities of its principal formulators and exponents but also, unlike the older conservatism of the pre-managerial elite, the interests of the managerial class as a whole in conserving the new political and cultural order that class has created but rejecting and dismantling the pre-managerial order the older conservatism sought to defend.[31]
