An Elicit systematic review on ideology, class identity, and redistribution.
Elicit Systematic Review (Automated literature synthesis (Semantic Scholar + OpenAlex corpus))
Abstract
Historical narratives about white supremacy as a tool of class control channel white working-class economic grievances into racial resentment rather than support for redistribution, moderated by class identity type, union membership, and economic self-interest among lower-income whites.
Summary
An automated Elicit literature synthesis on how narratives tying white supremacy to elite class control shape working-class political attitudes, and why that framing tends to redirect economic grievance toward racial resentment rather than toward support for redistributive policy.
