What is Auden's attitude towards the unknown citizen in his poem "The Unknown Citizen?"

I think that Auden holds a variety of attitudes in his
poem.  Yet, I think that he feels a particular sadness of the state of affairs that
envelop the modern body politic, "the unknown citizen."  Auden sees a collusion between
business, technology, and government as having reduced the complexity of the citizenry
to patterned and predictable conformity.  In his poem, he talks about how the "unknown
citizen" bought the products he was supposed to buy and that he articulated opinions
that he was supposed to articulate.  Technology has created a system where external
forces can know and determine what individuals will do.  It is in this light that Auden
feels a sense of sadness for the citizens who have to endure such a state of affairs and
anger masked in satire for those in the position of power who construct being in the
world in such a manner.  For Auden, the external forces that are upon the modern body
politic are too strong and severe to be repelled without a great deal of dissent and
resistance.  For this condition, Auden feels sadness as a sense of despair echoes in his
recasting of the modern condition.
