Xenu1 - I think you are the one who ought to calm down.
Previously, I calmly explained the emotional reaction of persons like yourself to my rational, evidence-based, historical analysis of the 'MLM' phenomenon. I said that the truth about the 'MLM' phenomenon has become almost unthinkable. Thus, you are actually proving the validity of my overall analysis, but you seem incapable of comprehending this.
You don't appear to have read or understood what I have actually written; for your continued pretence that I am an isolated 'lunatic' making an inappropriate, unfounded and simplistic comparison of 'MLM' cults to 'Nazism,' because my 'judgement has become clouded,' is itself inappropriate, simplistic and without foundation.
In reality, the quantifiable evidence shows that no other form of latter-day cultism has touched lives of so many people around the world, since WWII.
'MLM' cultism is undoubtedly part of an ongoing historical phenomenon.
I would refer you to the work of Eric Voegelin, who (according to your flawed-logic), was a 'lunatic.'

Erich Hermann Wilhelm Voegelin (1901-1985), was, in fact, a gifted German academic, who, in the decade preceding WWII (working largely-alone), produced an insightful explanation of ‘Nazism’ as a form of perverted religion or cult, but presented in a thought-stopping 'political' code. Sadly, during the 1930s, few people took much notice of Eric Voegelin. Indeed, some people dissmissed him as a 'dangerous crackpot.'
Whilst teaching political theory and sociology at the University of Vienna, Voegelin published two books, ‘The Race Idea in Intellectual History’ and ‘Race and the State’. In these, he pointed out the elementary, mistakes which invalidated various, popular ‘racial theories’.
In 1938, Voegelin (aged 37) tried to publish 'The Political Religions'. In this, he focused on contemporary totalitarian ideologies derived from the ‘racial theories’ which he’d previously criticised as absurd pseudo-science. He now pointed out the glaring structural similarities of these ideologies to religions and secret societies. Courageously, Voegelin was comparing medieval pseudo-sciences and 'Gnostic' cults to the 'Völkish’ or ‘Pan-German’ movement and its terrifying post-WWI incarnation, the 'Nazi party'.
In 1938, the ‘Nazi’ leader, Adolf Hitler, had held absolute power in Germany for almost 5 years. He had just taken control of Austria. The self-gratifying ‘Aryan Master Race’ delusion was spreading like a virus. In essence, Hitler controlled his fanatical core-adherents by peddling as fact an emotionally, and intellectually, overwhelming comic-book fiction in which he was a morally and intellectually perfect Aryan super hero, the 'führer,' on a mission to save his 'pure and noble race' from the slavery of the world financial/political system which had fallen under the control of an 'evil secret society of degenerate sub-humans - Jews, Freemasons, Communists,' etc.
The dozens of books, essays and reviews which Eric Voegelin published during his lifetime, are almost impossible for the average person to take in.
To give readers some idea of the scale of his thinking, Voegelin’s Major work, ‘Order and History’, began to be published in the USA in 1956 when he was aged 54, but it remained unfinished when he died 31 years later.
In simple terms, Voegelin was as a philosopher-historian who took an elevated, and broad, view. He observed that, throughout human history, there have been periods of mass-alienation... following wars, revolutions, plagues, natural disasters, economic depressions, etc. ... during these periods, dangerous manipulators (acting like ancient, Gnostic Prophets by pretending moral and intellectual authority and offering some form of Utopian existence in the here and now) who at other times might be dismissed as absurd crackpots and charlatans, have found it much easier to become accepted as authentic Messiahs and to acquire a mass-following.
