"Is it too much to say that since the French Revolution, the left has been the source of virtually all political evils, and continues to be so in our day?
"There can be no doubt that great cruelty and violence can be and have been inflicted in the name of preserving the existing order.
"But when we compare even the worst enormities of the more distant past with the leftist totalitarian revolutions and total wars of the twentieth centuries, they are in general a mere blip. The entire history of the Inquisition, said Joe Sobran, barely rises to the level of what the communists accomplished on a good afternoon."
That Lew Rockwell?
IF that were all he said that would be one thing. The man was a loon. His followers are too
The French have been the spawn of virtually every religious heresy (Albigensianism, Jansenism; among many more) as well as secular heresy (Libertarianisn, Progressivism; etc.) inflicted on Europe since the Fall of the Roman Empire in the West. The principal driver was their Enlightenment, the handiwork of the likes of revolutionaries, among them, Diderot, Rousseau, St.Just and Voltaire.
Apparently you are oblivious to the historical record yet glibly call Rockwell a loon; who identified the problem and the culprits???
Try the Library. It’s the stone building w/the books on the shelves.
