		<description><![CDATA[That link to DH Lawrence led me to the wiki article and beyond.

Odd to see how wiki editors have framed his politics. In today&#039;s conditions, it&#039;s hard to imagine an elitist, education-based class-fascism like his, or as used in Jo Walton&#039;s alt-hist series beginning with &quot;Farthing&quot;. But that was a major position in the time and the wikipedians seem able to get that. OTOH, they can&#039;t understand his progressive positions either as part of that, or alternatively as part of a similarly elitist progressivism. As though a progressivism that disdains democracy is unfathomable to them.]]></description>
