Newb, here.
Very interested in this sort of thing..
I've been toiling away on a research frenzy, for a decade...attempting to understand the American Right.
Something beyond mere Party, as they've changed so much, in 200+ years. Most of the stuff I've come across has been simplistic, and only really useful, if viewed through various colored lenses.
Even read Leo Strauss(ugh).
Currently, I'm thinking about the various "Party Systems"...whether we're in the 5th, 6th, or even 7th...lol.
I detect big changes happening on the Right, at the moment.
I lean, as this art. seems to, towards a Class System, that masquerades as Classless Ideology...informed by CW Mills, and a whole bunch of others.
Good Article.
