This article is pure drivel. The author keeps making connections where none exist. He doesn't cite any of his claims of fact. He blames numerous wars, genocides and the depression on a fanciful cult, rather than the political climates, ideologies, policies, etc. of the time.
He misattributes Consequentialism to Communism and Karl Marx - and he fails to provide a quote from Marx or Engels (authors of the Communist Manifesto). He fails to provide support for his claim that French revolutionaries killed hundreds of thousands of people to reduce the population - more like 16000-40000 were killed during the
Reign of Terror. I loved how makes the claim that most leftists believe in reducing the population by means of mass murder.
Also, how is Obama "the man without a past"? What is a man without a past? Even Jason Bourne had a past...
I really wish I could beat the author with a history textbook, and maybe with some citation guides as well.
