Manson would be the first to deny he was the leader of a cult. It sounded much cozier as 'The Family'. But it was without a doubt a cult. His followers were given the standard cult initiation. They were stripped of their worldly possessions, separated from the real world including their families, preached at 24/7, until they could barely think for themselves. All of this is classic brainwashing techniques.
Charles Manson was a leader of a cult known as the Manson Family in 1969.
If you mean Charles Manson then yes, he is (was) a cult leader.

Charles Manson led "the Manson Family"
Hi! im researching the Manson Family Cult aswell, according to my findings i have found there are 9 members involved in the cult, including Charles Manson himself the leader! There were also the pet dogs which were treated at a higher rank to that of the members of the cult, Charles Manson believed that the dogs are better than people and should eat before humans. In which, the dogs would eat first and the members would eat the left overs. i have much more information. if needed ask! Monique! :)
they were pretty much a cult who lived with Charles Manson, who was a serial killer and pretty much insane.
First and formost, Manson was a 'cult' leader. The only reason for a cult to exist is the exploitation of members by a tyrannical leader. This is the only reason for the family's existance. Manson's hold over these young people was no different than Rev. Jim Jones or David Koresh's total domination of the members of their 'church'.
The Tate-LaBianca murders were carried out by followers of Charles Manson, a cult leader. Manson himself did not directly participate in the murders but orchestrated them through his followers, who became known as the Manson Family. Manson's motive was to incite a race war he called "Helter Skelter."
Musician and artist, Marilyn Manson is a male. He was born Brian Hugh Warner, but his stage name is Marilyn Manson. He came up with this name by ironically putting together the names of two giant cultural icons - actress Marilyn Monroe (woman) and cult leader Charles Manson (male).
The person responsible for the mass murders in California in 1969 was Charles Manson. Charles Manson had a cult following of females that carried out the murders, and he was charged under the joint responsibility laws.
I think it is safe to say it wasn't his clothes or his meticulous grooming habits. But as with other cult leaders, Manson had a certain charisma that some found attractive. Over the years in prison, Manson has morphed into a sad old man, with nothing of importance to contribute. I doubt his younger self would barely recognize what he has become.
