I see modern society as descended from utilitarianism and Marxism, both enlightnmnt spawn. Communism is capitalism's sibling.
Yes, Communism & Utilitarianism were both born in the "Enlightenment", and both turned out to great tools for subverting culture & morality.
The Fabian Society, Marxist subversives par excellence, latched onto Millsian utilitarianism as one of their key ideological weapons.
