Martinists in the workers´ movement?

I always laughed at these statements by the Freemason-phobic "International Communist Current" (ICC), one of the more exotic species of weed in the far left political bouqet. 

>>>>>>

"This "greeting" was lip-service. In France, already after 1968, the bourgeoisie was using its "neo-Templar", "Rosicrucian" and "Martinist" sects in order to infiltrate leftist and other groups, in collaboration with the SAC services. For example, Luc Jeuret, the guru of the "Sun Temple" began his career by infiltrating Maoist groups."

"Left-wing versions of such counter-revolutionary organisations are no less active. In France, for instance, new sects have been established in the tradition of "Martinism", a variant of freemasonry historically specialised in the infiltration and subversion of workers' organisations. Such groups put forward the idea that communism can best be achieved by the manipulations of an enlightened minority. Like other sects, they are specialised in the art of manipulating people."

Yes, Martinists. The ICC is suggesting that Martinists (of all people) are infiltrating "workers´ organisations" or "leftist and other groups". Yeah, rightie!

Look what synchronistically showed up just two hours ago on Reddit:

"Martinism is about politics, yes, because many of our past masters were ardent supporters of Utopian socialism or persecuted by totalitarian governments. The magnetist and spiritualist circles of France, where martinism developed, such as that of Charles Fourier, Saint-Simon, Esquiros, and Eliphas, were all Utopian socialists. if you read the speech of Guaita to the degree of SI, you will see that it clearly says about us "- you can call us socialists, communists...". The Rosicrucian & Martinist tradition has several works that deal with the reform of society and the establishment of Utopia, such as Francis Bacon's new atlantis, Andreae's christianopolis and Yves d'Alveydre's synarchy. Chevillon, Grand Master of Lyon's Martinezist Order, was an ardent supporter of utopian socialism and was assassinated by the Nazis for his initiatory activity.

Read Chevillon's social temple, or Eliphas' bible of freedom, or Stanislas' initiatic discourse, or Leon Denis' socialism and spiritualism. Now, it is important to emphasize that we are referring to idealistic, French, Christian Utopian socialism, and not the cruel and bloodthirsty materialism of Germany and Russia. The reform of humanity has always been present in the works of the Rosicrucians, from Thomas Morus to Francis Bacon. But this social reform can only come from a change of Consciousness and Spiritual evolution - it cannot be outwardly forced. Anyway, fascism exterminated many of our brothers, most even sent to concentration chambers in Nazi Germany. Martinism is Utopist. The ideal of Utopia comes all the way through the synarchy of d'Alveydre, the christianopolis of the Rose+Croix, the new atlantis of Francis Bacon, the civitas solis of Campanella, the utopia of Thomas Morus, the republic of Plato, the assassination of C.Chevillon at the hands of the fascists, from the critique of Papus to liberal-bourgeois Freemasonry, from the speech of Guaita "call us socialists or communists, the words do not matter", through all the brothers who were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and killed by totalitarian regimes.

French Utopian socialism, which was born idealist and spiritualist, has nothing to do with the degenerate atheist and materialist communism of Germany, or with postmodern deconstruction.

We are closer to Charles Fourier, Robert Owen and Saint-Simon.

"economist or philosopher, call it the tendency towards socialism, if you wish... to collectivism, to communism... words don't matter!" - initiatic Discourse to the degree of Superior Incognitoby Stanislas de Guaita (founder of the OKRC, before the Ordre Martiniste was established)

In short:

We are not adherents of the atheistic and materialistic communism that brought so much death and destruction to the world. But it i important to recognize that if someone is on the side of fascism, he would be along with those who persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered our Past Masters. from Andrea's christianopolis, Campanella's civitas solis, Francis Bacon's new atlantis, Thomas Morus' utopia to d'Alveydre's synarchy, there has always been a link between initiation and the struggle for the Repair of the World so desired by the Rosicrucians. A world that has the Earth as its homeland, the Universe as its temple, and Conscience as its guide, without divisions of class, nation and race. that is why the lords of the world (authoritarian governments, ecclesiastical power, etc.) crushed our past brothers. Remember chevillon, murdered by the Nazis. remember Stanislas Guaita, who made it very clear in his initiation speech to the 3rd degree - "call us collectivists, socialists or communists, it doesn't matter what the words are!"; remember Eliphas, sent to jail for his socialist ideal! remember the synarchy! and, remembering all this, we cannot be on the side of those who would stain their hands with blood against your own brothers."
