The open conspiracy

The text argues for an organised, transparent movement of committed people to establish a global commonweal, proposing a restated, objective religion rooted in subordination of self and collective responsibility. It outlines aims, structure, and methods, including explanation and propaganda, constructive social work, and alliances with existing progressive movements, while insisting on heterogeneity and moral reorientation. Chapters examine practical obstacles: entrenched institutions, cultural resistances in less industrialised regions, and internal human frailties, and discuss building creative homes, schools, and mechanisms for international coordination. The tone is prescriptive, sketching hazards and strategies for gradual global cooperation and social reconstruction.
