I actually wasn’t that familiar with Jones’ message having read little about the Jonestown cult outside their drink of choice.

Jones was actually preaching revolutionary Marxism; that’s pretty well-documented, a lot of it in his own words from his sermons.

People’s Temple…..wow. The sad thing is, if you look back Jones’ earlier career, he did a lot of good with regard to integration of African-Americans in church congregations. It’s tragic - Jones, like far too many twisted and evil people, could well have been a force for good. They chose the darker path instead.
