They/we are unsurprisingly attracted to radical politics because they/we are now excluded from capital and are dependent on the wage. There is though a strong tendency to scab on the working class globally because previous generations of such adminstrators formed a priestly class and were rewarded for their loyalty to the owners of capital by being given access to things like home ownership and some of the surplus value that accrues to the owners of capital. The liberal wing of the establishment holds out the promise of restoring that.
