This assumes that the wishes of the big bourgeoisie get translated into action automatically. I think that there is a certain autonomy at work in the state as Poulantzas tried to explain.

He is no FDR, to say the least. 

You've got a point. I guess the best Bonapartist is an aristocrat, not an arriviste.
