> I wish to abolish the great evil of our time, the beast primarily arising from the Renaissance to the French Revolution. I want to abolish man’s idea he is above other men and God’s law—something we have struggled with since Genesis 3. I want to move us to a future devoid of our current evils and political structures. I am the opposite of a conservative; I wish to conserve nothing of what is evil; our entire system has become corrupt. I want to abolish democracy and legislative governments as the abolitionists in America were “progressive” in abolishing the evil of their day, slavery.
