Back to what I said earlier, the rhetoric that certain institutions are beyond reform and should be abolished outright and replaced with blackjack and hookers in space is not unique to any one viewpoint, any one race, or any one century.
Jim Jones was on the very far left, kind of a progenitor of what we consider modern wokeness, and he thought he was creating blackjack and hookers in space in Guyana. Marxist, feminist, multiracial commune as far from the US as he could get. Started in the most leftist corners of NorCal.
Genuinely seductive, genuinely demonic.
I will give any would-be researcher of extremist ideologies the following advice: assume that everyone involved is reasonably bright and well-intentioned and see where that gets you.
Ben here assumes that people who disagree with him are stupid, crazy, or evil.
Try assuming that they're smart, sane, and well-intentioned and go from there.
