There is a great book, “Leftism Revisited: from de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Pol Pot” by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn that was published in the 90’s that discusses the history of leftism and it’s destruction. It’s out of print, but if you can get you hands on a copy it is worth reading.

________________________________
Yes, people of goodwill are waking up to the realization that the world is occupied by multitudes of inspired Satanic believers who are bent on destroying God’s kingdom and all humanity. They fall into different so-called religious groups (Islamists) and ideologies (Marxists, Fascists), but all have as their central theme trashing and destroying the past and all that’s civilized, wholesome, and good. It’s the job of civilized peoples of goodwill everywhere to push back against these hedonistic marauders or they will destroy our world and us along with it. He and his followers are now raging as wild beasts.

...especially leftist women who will destroy the 2024 election for conservatives if we don’t message better. One “dogma” of leftism is abortion and Karens of all stripes will never vote that away .

That is an epic and scholarly work. Fortunately, I purchased a copy a few decades ago.

Took me a minute to find it, but here is a great quote from that volume. Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, writing of the influence of the Left on American foreign policy, referred to the influx of 1914 -1918 émigrés whose ranks were swollen during World War II -

"And, as pointed out earlier, the majority of those belonged to the leftist camp and were soon intimately tied to the American Left. More often than not, these men had previously helped undermine the fabric of traditional Christian Europe, creating the frightful void that communism, socialism, and later National Socialism would fill. Deserted altars are inhabited by demons.”

You write: “Well, in BC 2090 the romans had a Constitution, were doing great expanding their economy and good time of the working folks. But by BC 1992...”
Are you sure of your dates? If BC means Before Christ, in 2090 there existed no such people as the Romans.
