Your readers may find the late Friedrich Hayek's piece on THE INTELLECTUALS AND SOCIALISM (published by the University of Chicago Law Review 16, no. 3, 1949: 417-433 and republished 2025 in HAYEK FOR THE 21ST CENTURY pp 13 - 37 by The Mises Institute mises.org/) on who usually achieves cultural consensus (by weaponizing the language) and how.
