If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: Just a quick look back.
The novel Philip Dru remains a very good source of understanding of progressivism.

The excerpt you provided is so terrible and incomprehensible, I had to Google "Philip Dru, Administrator."

I found that the Wiki article is poorly written and sounds like the work of a 10th grader. So I turned to the book itself at Philip Dru, Administrator.

After 5 pages, I confirmed that House himself was a terrible writer who produced the usual turgid, vapid, fantastical drek the left always produces.

So what's the point of your post? That this was the archetype of a progressive administrative state that Wilson launched and we are suffering under?

I haven’t read the book but I know that “Colonel” House was considered to be the shadow president during the Wilson Administration and was the elites’ point man on the establishment of the Federal Reserve.
