520 In the 19th century anarchists were accused of conspiracy
by governments afraid of revolution, but in the current
century, various conspiracy theories suggest that
anarchists are controlled by government itself. The
Illuminati were a network of intellectuals who argued for
self-government and against private property, yet the
public is now often told that they were (and are) the very
group that controls governments around the world.
Intervening in such misinformation, Lagalisse works with
primary and secondary sources to set straight the history
of the Left and illustrate the actual relationship between
revolutionism, pantheistic occult philosophy, and the
clandestine fraternity. Exploring hidden correspondences
between anarchism, Renaissance magic, and New Age
movements, Lagalisse also advances critical scholarship
regarding leftist attachments to secular politics and the
influence clandestine masculine spheres continue to have
on contemporary anarchist understandings of power and
politics as oppressively male.
