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.

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.”
