Reminder: Jonestown was a Utopian, far-left San Francisco-spawned holocaust, not a Christian one

January 6, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

It could easily have happened at one of the Occupy Camps, and maybe it will in future.

Via Ed Driscoll:

Jonestown is a ghastly monument to a psychopathic madman—but he was a Marxist madman, who had long since spurned the Bible in favor of cosmic revolutionary struggle. “Stop your hysterics,” he urged his screaming flock as they shuffled toward the casks of poison. “This is not the way for people who are socialists or Communists to die.” (…)

Jones was, in other words, a more deviant than usual by-product of the subcultural political madness of the Vietnam era.
