You proved you don't read with this post. Because the politics of the nineteenth century, especially radical politics, bear many resemblances.
Fourierists intended to recast society in a new utopian image. They wanted to abolish money, personal property, the nuclear family, the concept of gender, gendered roles, even child sex was not off limits for these animals.

These people represented the left. The radical left. Which is similar to the radical left of today. The right represented order, tradition, the family, property rights, and hierarchy. Not too dissimilar from today.

You should not participate in discussions if you can't keep up with the material. You represent a cluster of students who would come my classes unprepared and embarrass themselves in front of their peers with their uninformed tirades. You might think you hold unique ideas but fall into a pitiable category--an archetype of a shallow reader, thinker, and analyst. You are a prisoner of your politics.

I am not aware of any thing that God has done for me. To even entertain that possibility, we would have to first establish the existence of this fictional entity, which is a bit too much of a leap of faith. See, here I employ the word in its original meaning -- unconditional trust, complete confidence. It's something you earn, not something you obtain as a means to combat your wavering and insecurities, your lack of will and strength, your insignificance in the grand scheme of things. You really come off as a confused teenager.

>if you are being intellectually honest, you will eventually have to accept the existence of the supreme being or the transcendent good or the first truth or the original beauty, from which all being, goodness, truth, and beauty subsist in and originate.

No. Your whole premise is wrong. You literally made a mistake on Move 1. I think the ``Start with the Greeks'' meme might have gotten to your head. Taking for truth the ramblings of millennia-old thinkers is a serious case of wishful thinking or no thinking at all.
