有意思的是，当我理解Synarchism，看其中文翻译，也是共产主义。我就深入比较一下Synarchism和communism的共同和区别。 The term originated with a 19th-century French writer and occultist, Alexandre St. Yves d’Alveydre. St. Yves concocted an ancient lineage for Synarchy stretching back to the fabled island of Atlantis. St. Yves touted Synarchy as the ‘normal organization of all societies’, establishing ‘harmonious cooperation’ instead of competition. But there was nothing democratic about it. Authority would belong to an enlightened elite. This elite would divvy up power to technical, judicial, and commercial bodies headed by hand-picked experts. Secret societies also had an assigned role in the Synarchist utopia. They’d create a new class of oracles and priests to guide the masses. Synarchists vs. BolshevistsThe man who really got Synarchy rolling was another French occultist, a student of St. Yves, Gérard Encausse, or Papus. Papus became a spiritual adviser to Tsar Nicholas. Papus also set-up Masonic lodges in Russia, including the one Dmitry Navachine joined. Papus and a gaggle of French occultists had also formed—or re-formed—something called the Martinist Order. They claimed it was the revival of an 18th-century mystical order. The chief of Vichy police, Chavin, in a separate but related murder case of Jean Coutrot discovered that St. Yves and Papus used Martinism as a cover to spread Synarchist ideas. The bottom line is that Synarchy’s roots are firmly embedded in secret societies and occult doctrines. The First World War devastated the ranks of the French Martinists. Many bright young initiates filled cemeteries instead of positions of influence. There was a need to refill ranks quickly. And the war created another problem. The revolution in Russia unleashed the genie of Bolshevism. Even if Bolshevism was a mutant strain of Synarchy, the western Synarchists wanted it contained in the Eurasian hinterland. So, in 1919, the surviving Martinists formed a Synarchist International to oppose the Communist International in Moscow. Supposedly, among the first fruits of this Synarchist counter-offensive were the emergence of Benito Mussolini’s fascists and the Thule Society in Germany: the same Thule Society that helped prepare the ground for Hitler. 在这里做一个介绍，有兴趣可以深入，挺有意思的，也对理解当今世界很有帮助，至少对我这样不能满足pushed narrative的人，很有益。
