Above reminds of Seymour Martin Lipset's 'working class authoritarianism' in _Political Man (1960) that S. M. Miller & Frank Reisman thoroughly critiqued in *British Journal of Sociology* in early 1960s. Lewis Lipsitz did same in *American Sociological Review* in mid-1960s.

Richard Hamilton's decidedly non-marxist _Class and Politics in the United States_ (1972) notes that Joe McCarthy's electoral support did not come from working class. Michael Hoover
