Return to Base 9/11/01 Page
People with unfair power and privilege generally try to
hold onto that unfair power and privilege. Sometimes they
make plans that are not publicly announced. Sometimes they
engage in illegal plots. Real conspiracies have been exposed
throughout history. History itself, however, is not controlled
by a vast timeless conspiracy. The powerful people and groups
in society are hardly a "secret team" or a tiny
club of "secret elites." The tendency to explain
all major world events as primarily the product of a secret
conspiracy is called conspiracism. The antidote to conspiracism
is Power Structure Research based on some form of institutional,
systemic or structural analysis that examines race, ethnicity,
gender, sexual identity, class and other factors that are
used to create inequality and oppression. We do not criticize
conspiracism because we want to shield those with unfair
power and privilege, but because we believe that conspiracism
impedes attempts to build a social movement for real social
justice, economic fairness, equality, peace, and democracy.
