I've been pondering this for a long while now and basing to what I've read from the execution of the "bourgeois" and Maximillien's party advocating for "workers' rights" now convinces me to hatch a firm theory that the French Revolution and the honchos behind it are the ones who inspired Marx, leading to the infestation that we're in today.
I have yet to strengthen this theory, but if you can help, when you have access on the papers of Robespierre and his allies during the French Revolution that would cite things about anti-whiteness, anti-masculinity, anti-Western values and anti-capitalism that would be wonderful. We can cross-check it with Marx's works and finally show people the demons that started this ideological tyranny known as Marxism.
In some ways it was. One of the biggest forms of early Communist type thought was put into practice during the 1871 Paris Commune. France has tended to be the place where radical egalitarianism has been fostered.
I would recommend reading some Nietzche as well, because from his writings we know that this "Inversion of values" has existed for a long time.
I wish Nietzche dropped names in his works on who these people are instead of talking the pseudo-intelligent holier-than-thou route.
He certainly does in the Genealogy of Morals.
It's everyone and anyone.
Leftism, in all its many forms, is simply the political manifestation of human evil. Look at the people drawn to these ideologies - the resentful and the envious, the degenerate and the criminal, the chaotic and the destructive, the subversive and the invader. These are people who hate the productive and successful, the moral and law-abidibg, the orderly and constructive, the beautiful and honest, and the nation. These monsters have always existed, and they always will. They don new names and claim new ideas, but the goals are always the same. The battle is eternal.
Beautifully written.
Yes, it's the exact moment Europe started going to shit and became the hollowed out shell it is today.
Another fun early example of revolutionary communism is the Munster commune. Calvinists took over a city, threw out the rich to house the insane, mandated polygamy, and a bunch of other crazy progressive shit.

The French Revolution only became a thing because there was no food, no money, and when the King called the Estates General to deal with it, it turned into a PR disaster.
Robespierre was "more bourgeois" than Danton (who created the Committee of Public Safety), who was less radical than Hébert. They all exterminated the Girondins and threw the Convention to the inner wolves of man.
Pre-Thermidorian France was not as totalitarian as a Communist government. But it remains the prototype of almost all left-wing revolutions of today, down to the CHAZ.
Look into E. Michael Jones, he wrote about this and discusses it on his youtube/bitchute interviews. From his perspective, the enlightenment was the beginning of communism and all of these leftist ideas, and the french revolution was one of the first communist revolutions.
Here's one of his books that discusses this within the first 100 pages, but the whole thing is a great read.
