I realized several years ago, while studying history, that the royalists never left after the revolution. It appears their descendants have been working to undermine our republic ever since and have found common cause with the European Fabian Socialists, Frankfurt School, and of course the USSR. Socialism is nothing but populist rhetoric for tyranny.
I have this as one of many I have recently started. Have you read it and can you offer an opinion about it or the author?

Scratch a Marxist, and you'll find an imperialist, a monarchist, a tyrannist, or a feudalist.
I doubt it's exactly that simple, but all those -isms share a set of feelings and beliefs:
• Hatred of commoners being accepted as equals by one and all.
• Hatred of commoners being allowed to determine their own fates and participate in governance.
• Bitter, deep, abiding resentment of flexible social hierarchies.
• Absolute certainty the "better" people deserve to govern one and all. There's considerable difference over the qualifications for "better" people; that in no way, however, changes the certainty.
• Hatred of open economic, religious, and intellectual markets even in the face of incontrovertible evidence of their superiority.
• Distrust and often hatred of human nature, which is always seen as base, grasping, malicious, evil, dishonest, et cetera.
I'm sure that list could be extended quite a bit, but the arthritis is giving me trouble this evening.
