  1. What did Hilton have hidden within his book? That the utopian ideology started within the monasteries. However, the utopian idea wasn't from those in Pakistan and India, per se, but from a Benedictine monastery in France, which had been suppressed in 1790. It was radical preaching and speeches about communal living and the lost Golden Age, or Utopia, within the Rue St Honoré Jacobin monastery, which led to Babeuf's "communiste" utopian ideology and the radical movement during the French Revolution. They were behind the bloodbath and the terrors. Those who continually search for this myth are generally from this lot. "The monastery was suppressed in 1790 and the library confiscated and moved to a depot in the former couvent des Capucins Saint-Honoré. The Couvent des Jacobins was thus rented to "the Friends of the Constitution", which became popularly known as the Jacobin Club. The Club closed in 1794 and the buildings were demolished in 1816." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couvent_des_Jacobins_de_la_rue_Saint-Honor%C3%A9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_of_Saint_Maur
