While St Augustine is the genius who, in unequalled depth, describes the antithesis between the two cities, no one except Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira [1908-1995], in his succinct [beknopt] work ´Revolution and Counter-Revolution´, has better described the history of the struggle between the Civitas Dei and Civitas diabuli in recent centuries.
For the Brazilian thinker...
a revolutionary process exists whose origins date from the XIV to the XV centuries...
when Europe was experiencing a profound change in the spirit of the age.
The philosophy of pleasure associated with humanism triggered the Protestant religious Revolution which, excluding apparent divergences, was one with humanistic beliefs. The French Revolution welcomed the liberal and egalitarian tendencies of humanism and Protestantism, and introduced them to the political and social spheres. The Communist Revolution spread throughout the world and led the egalitarian hatred of the French Revolution to its ultimate consequences.

A new worldwide civilisation was to have replaced Christian civilisation. During the French Revolution, on 17 June 1790, a Prussian revolutionary, Anacharsis Cloots [1755-1794], presented himself to the Assembly as “the orator of the human race”, heading a deputation of persons of different languages and nationalities, announcing the construction of a universal Republic which would embrace all peoples of the earth.
Another protagonist of the Revolution, Abbott Henri Grégoire [1750-1831], demanded, in the name of universal equality, abolition of the “aristocracy of the skin”. On 4 June 1793, a masquerade was organised and a delegation of black men and women infiltrated the Convention, preceded by a banner depicting a mulatto and a negro, armed with a pike, who wore the Phrygian cap, the symbol of the Revolution. “Citizens – announced Grégoire, amid the enthusiasm of Convention delegates – there still exists an aristocracy: that of the skin. You will make it disappear.”
The utopia of ethnic mixing is therefore of early date and an expression of the egalitarian pantheism of the French Revolution, which claimed that they would destroy every inequality, whether social or in nature, to create an imitation of the medieval Christian Republic.
It was only after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918 that this utopia was apparently realised, with the (almost contemporaneous) advent of the dictatorship of the Communist proletariat, the National Socialist Third Reich and the League of Nations, later renamed the United Nations Organisation.
However, all these projects failed miserably.

The dream of building the “novus ordo saeculorum”, emerging at the beginning of the XX century, was replaced by an opposing dream, that of destruction: the Kingdom of Chaos. The New World Order is in reality worldwide chaos, which today has the colours of the Amazonia, the happy paradise in which indigenous peoples pass on the wisdom of the cult of nature, and the Earth Charter replaces the Declaration of Human Rights, now superseded by the tribal phase of the fourth and fifth Revolutions.
The Amazonia has been elevated from a physical territory to a theological place, the object par excellence of geolatry, the cult offered to Mother Earth which embraces all creatures, animate or inanimate, where everything coexists and nothing is, because, once every inequality is eliminated, nothingness is revealed as the ultimate secret of the universe.
The metaphysics of the nothing...
is the heart of the new religion.
