Talk:Conspiracy (political)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this definition accurate? "In a political sense, conspiracy refers to a group of persons united in the goal of usurping or overthrowing an established political power." This appears to include all civil wars and many full-scale rebellions. If so, isn't that too broad? Also, it appears to exclude situations in which a group of people unite with some goal of secretly and illegally obtaining power or wealth but they do not try to usurp or overthrow the established power. Or are my examples applicable only to conspiracy in some sense other than the political sense? 67.188.32.106 (talk) 03:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
