That’s not quite the case either. I would say the corporatist


self-perceived center, heavily invested in the maintenance of the status quo, declares both the extreme left and the extreme right as its enemies.

Both democratic socialism and right wing authoritarianism are feared, mocked, and criticized by this “center” which does own the major media organs in this country, because both the left and the right have populist ideas which threaten the “center’s” dominance.

I put “center” in scare quotes because the things that are critical to its continued ascendancy aren’t really in the actual center of political thought among the masses in this country, which actually favors elements of purportedly “fringe” ideas, both right and left.
