No one who reads or studies Marx or Sun Tzu is automatically marked as an affiliate of Maoism.
The PWC religion demands you view 1940s Germany as literally Satan, and publicly confess a litany of curses and affirmations (apocryphal or otherwise).
To return to any historic reformed political theory, we are going to have to be comfortable destigmatizing Hitler. Not necessarily in that he was good, but that he a man in time dealing with political instability for good and for evil.

I had a great time at the New Christendom Press conference. I met many godly Christians. It’s unfortunate a third-party vendor, known for books positive toward Nazi ideology, was permitted to sell books and promote resources out of step with our Christian beliefs. This is being used to smear the good people at the conference. Hopefully this will be addressed by those responsible. I have no interest in Nazism or associating with it. I believe that also describes those I met. Lots of families and young men zealous for Christ.
