That is a contradiction of terms. The dictionary definition of
"conspiracy" is:
"a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful."
Dictionary.com
"1 · a secret agreement to do something harmful or unlawful ; 2 · the
act of plotting with others to do something harmful or unlawful."
Webster
"the activity of secretly planning with other people to do something bad
or illegal" Cambridge Dictionary
If it is open and not secret, it is not called a conspiracy.
H.G. Wells was one of the most influential visionaries of the early
twentieth century. His many books, both fiction and non-fiction,
inspired multitudes of men and women who, like Wells, looked to a “World
State” as the savior of humanity. Although he wrote often of an
international order, Mr. Wells’ optimism for the future waned due to the
destruction of World War II. Nevertheless, his desire for an “Open
Conspiracy”
I doubt that was the right word back then, but anyway, in modern English
that would be an organized movement, not a conspiracy.
