Aloha, First, thanks to the list members who have continued this thread. The comments have certainly provided me with what I was looking for--some background information and viewpoints to think about. Particularly how we categorize parties, movements, and inner circles on the right-left spectrum and the occult-secular one. Second, what this article on right-wing occultic synarchy has me mulling over is just how political an occult outlook or agenda may be, and vice versa. Here, I find myself wondering how much the participation of famous occultists in a political movement "occultifies" a political agenda. (My major reason, I suppose, is that in North America right now, some Pagans are trying to figure out how or whether being Pagan somehow "paganizes" their politics. Not so much as activists, which is part of my own Paganish politics, as much as party members and/or ideologues.) What I'm tending toward is a notion that (famous) occultists participating in a political movement probably does NOT-- in the absence of very specific evidence--"occultify" that movement's political agenda. The article, for instance, suggests that synarchy holds an aristocratic hierarchical view of social arrangements that is occultic in character. But the occultic aspect seems to me almost trivial in comparison to the hierarchical aristocratic element. Do you need a demon's OK to act a Prince?
