{{R with history}}

"Conspiracism serves the needs of diverse political and social groups in America and elsewhere. It identifies elites, blames them for economic and social catastrophes, and assumes that things will be better once popular action can remove them from positions of power. As such, ] do not typify a particular epoch or ideology" (1985: 199).

Conspiracism is often related to ] in ways that generate ], and the ] or ] of an individual or group. Ideas are shared by conspiracists across political and social boundaries.
