Bourne’s transnationalism was aligned with another term that he coined, “cosmopolitanism”. He was not a progressive in the modern sense.

Although Bourne considered himself a leftist, the positions of left and right then have been nearly flipped today. H.L. Mencken and Albert Jay Nock were considered to be on the left, as was anyone else who opposed Wilson’s war in Europe.

Bourne also coined the term, “welfare-warfare state” to describe Wilson’s form of collectivism. We have lived under such a regime since that time.
