As the recent discussions by Lenin's Tomb demonstrate, "conspiracy theory" is truly a phrase so overused that it has no meaning. It is used to refer to discussions that detract from good political analysis , and it is used to refer to diecussions that are very important and critical for good political analysis.

Anti-conspiracy theorists should stop using the terminology "conspiracy theory". It is employed in vapid generalization. They should just do concrete analysis of each discussion , a case by case analysis.
