MGB:_The question is whether Bannon’s beliefs on society are as influential in his day to day duties as Speaker Ryan’s beliefs gleaned from Ayn Rand. One can argue with a straight face that such views are overcome by events as they unfold - although Greenspan seemed to ride Rand to our ecoomic ruin.
Howe seems be believe in something akin to astrology (which attribute generational shifts to the outer planets). While this may be true, it has little do do with how you write an Executive order, although Bannon belieiving he is destined to restore order is dangerous.
Does history progress? Hegel and Marx thought so, at least in ecoomics and our understanding of God (Hegel, not Marx). In the life of any orgaization, people like the myth that things have always been as they are, particularly among the Catholic Curia. Any reading of Church history shows that all doctrine is renewed with each generation and the movement is generally in the direction of human freedom. Bad news if you think women will never be ordained.
