this is a book I read a few months ago fire in the minds of men by Billington and to preface this book was written by a former Congressional librarian and Princeton professor and he did a tremendous amount of research in the origin of the left and one of the conclusions he came to is that the modern left stems from occult groups 200 years ago and that sounds insane but he looked at the exact people who formed the Revolutionary movement and what he found is that groups like The Freemasons or the Illuminati created cover through which
to organize in secret and the same kinds of people who hated the established government hated the established church and he studied teachings of groups like The Illuminati and found that it led directly to leftism between atheism belief in materialism belief in equality and all that sort of thing and that book draws remarkable parallels where it all makes sense when you put it together
