    Except that Edward Sallow was one of them and used the foothold granted to the Followers through their practices to found the Legion.

        Yes, but Mussolini hadn’t been a Marxist for over a decade by the time he took up the mantle of fascism. Sallow was a member of the Followers who used his position and skills to catapult himself into a position of power when he was sent to communicate with the Arizona tribes. If he was not a Follower, he never would have been able to do what he did, plus a decent chunk of followers and Mormons rallied to him during his initial rise to power, such as Graham.

      Yeah, I found them the least bad, that fact that they were and victim of a crazy cult leader does not diminish them in my eyes
