By the time the French Revolution rolled around, the ideological descendants of these sects had rejected religion, especially Christianity, and assumed a messianic character in their developing ideologies. They preached utopianism, constant revolution through the uprooting of all forms of tradition, and freedom below the belt. Radical egalitarianism was their rallying cry and any atrocity committed was justified in getting to the secular promised land. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"loJjTe\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"loJjTe\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Radical egalitarians claim to be driven by justice and love. However, in truth, they are often driven by anger, hatred, envy, and resentment. From the murderous drivers of the French Revolution, to the perversions of Marquis de Sade and modern pornographers, to the Russian and NAZI (National Socialists) Revolutions, to Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge, through the violence and sexual rebellion unleashed by these variant strains of leftism, the author documents the left’s unsavory history of creating hell on earth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"loJjTe\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"loJjTe\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"What does the author recommend replace the dominance of leftist thought in Western Culture?
