It pandered to wanna be's and used multi-level marketing tactics to recruit. Money, sex and power were the goals of the cults leader Keith Raniere. The Order of the Solar Temple cult is a well known cult in Europe. In America, though, the stories of this nefarious cult is not well known at all.

The end for this false prophet would come in fire and murder in a place just outside of Waco Texas.

While Hitler organized this cult of oppression and murder, its roots started somewhat earlier. The more we know about this death cult, the more likely the world will be to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
