Now I'm bothered by the matter of agency. Does the "U.S. Ruling Class" have a mind that appreciates this or that? A sector of it did sort of get together decades ago to tell LBJ not to run again, but only a sector. Individual capitalsits are highly class conscious, but only as individuals, not as members of a collective with a consciusness. And 'thinking aliike' as Domhoff explored it means that they support (as invidivduals) the same sorts of policies when those policies are preented by policy makers. But how does it actualize this appreciation you speak of?
