The desire of certain European elites to establish a new global order dates back many centuries.
Adam Weishaupt established the Illuminati in 1776 in an effort to unite several freemasonic organizations by persuading the ruling class. Despite being outlawed after its initial triumph, it continued to operate under the Legaue of the Justes. Karl Marx believed that instead of going after the elites, going after the mobs would be more successful since they are willing to perform filthy work as well. The goal of the wave of revolutions was to overthrow the whole European nobility, outlaw the church, and establish a new culture for a new population.
