Weishaupt explained how the system would work. "That we shall have a Masonic lodge of our own. That we shall regard this as our nursery garden. That to some of these Masons we shall not at once reveal that we have something more than the Masons have. That at every opportunity we shall cover ourselves with this (Masonry)... All those not suited to the work shall remain in the Masonic Lodges and advance in that without knowing anything of the further system."(21)
Weishaupt became a Freemason in 1777 into the Lodge " Theodore de Bon Conseil" in Munich.(25)
In 1778 the idea was launched to formally unite Illuminism and Masonry. Weishaupt met Freiherr von Knigge and through their negotiations formed a union between the two societies.(27) The alliance was formerly sealed at the Congress of Wilhelmsbad. The assembly met representing no less than 3 million secret society members.
In a letter found in 1787 by the Bavarian authorities were the writing of Illuminati Cato: "The Lodge is constituted entirely according to our system...and we have nearly finished our transactions with the Lodges of Poland, and shall have them under our direction."
By the activity of our breathren, the Jesuits have been kept out of all the professorial chairs at Ingolstadt, and our friends prevail".
"We have the Pylades...and he has the church-money at his disposal."(45)
Aloys Hoffman, editor of the Journal de Vienne, wrote : "I shall never cease to repeat that the Revolution has come from Masonry and that it was made by writers and the Illuminati."(67)

I like how the birth of Tyranny starts around the 1700s as opposed to, you know, 7,000+ years ago when humans began developing more hierarchical political structures.

Politically? I'm not as certain, and thinking in terms of "derp more democracies dur better" doesn't help because it depends on the array of public policies which promote the economic prosperity. There's much more political equality and all that, but to be clear I wouldn't attribute much of this progress due to politics itself.

I'm appreciative that I'm not required to worship my leader as a god, that I can choose a different leader if I want, and the leader I do have does not have the ability to kill me if the whim strikes him.

That holds as long as you don't advocate for the destruction of the US state and become associated with 'the bad guys', but sure, I appreciate that general change. Nevertheless, choosing who robs you isn't much of a political advancement.
To clarify my stance, I'm just not as certain that we've advanced as much politically as we have economically. For the past 80 years--in general, we seem to be regressing or have been stagnant politically.
