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.
