While Prof. Reiland may be learned, he’s no conservative; rather, he’s a libertarian and thus part of the problem.
Ironically, Reiland’s sect would protect property and capital rights while somnambulating through adultery, debauchery, sodomy, and other assorted crimes against nature and families. Reiland’s myopia would leave little of the social order standing, however — why should people with no compunctions about the metaphorical slaughter of families have any reservations about the metaphorical destruction of capital and property?
Indeed, Reiland would do well to review the Stalinist works which specifically espouse methods of family-destruction — if only to understand that our friend Tom Clancy (through the voice of Jack Ryan) was correct — “there is no such thing as coincidence.” The Communists well understood that abrogation of sexual mores would lead to the destruction of property rights, as well.
