Will there be a Part II looking at how the Ehrenreichs looked at the New Left as a manifestation of this New Class from the left?
Reading these summary accounts, particularly Schelsky's "priesthood" notion, makes me think that Wesley Yang's "Successor Ideology" has been far more successful in its takeover of institutions than the old New Left's "march through the institutions" ever was.
Never thought a non-German would know about a relatively obscure (in contrast to Adorno, Habermas, Honneth) German sociologist like Schelsky of all people. I last heard him mentioned maybe in the late 1980s when my dad had his file-and-rank union staffers over for coffee at our place.
An excellent piece.

Brilliant.
