What is Communitarianism?

So, in other words, they wear tinfoil hats.

Not really. It might be convenient to dismiss them as kooks. For example, they cited before their discussions of the role if Freemasonry in shaping American political thought, "Today freemasonry and communism are both absolutely taboo political topics; speaking about the communists or the freemasons, as if they really exist, will get the writer condemmed as a conspiracy theorist (Hofstadter 1964). "

I'm not sure I agree with their analysis and conclusions, but to deny that the philosophies of (pro or anti) freemasonry, communism, and Zionism had an influence in American political thought and the transformation of the USA from colonial times to the present day is deluded as well. I mean even today, how important is AIPAC in American middle eastern politics?
