Above is an old FR article with an even older booklet (from 1938) called “The Revolution Was”. It is about FDR and the New Deal.
Excerpt:
Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse. The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
In a revolutionary situation mistakes and failures are not what they seem. They are scaffolding. Error is not repealed. It is compounded by a longer law, by more decrees and regulations, by further extensions of the administrative hand.

It’s disappointing and even frightening to see that not only hasn’t much changed in 86 years, but the blundering, deception and sowing division has increased exponentially. We finally understand that it’s all been quite purposeful and designed to distract and overwhelm us to the point of becoming oblivious to their shenanigans, at our own peril.
