what freemason think about communism?

Political discussion is banned inside the lodge, and candidates must hold a belief in a Supreme Being, as an article on the United Grand Lodge of England's website states. As a result, the Fraternity does not take political stances or participate in ideological debates as an organization.

As a matter of philosophical principle, however, totalitarian and despotic systems inherently clash with Masonic principles 1. Mackey places communism alongside other totalizing state creeds, arguing that conflicts between them and Freemasonry are not personal quarrels but direct oppositions between contradictory philosophies 1. Any creed possessing state power that cannot tolerate Masonic teachings of democracy, fraternalism, and tolerance inevitably turns anti-Masonic, as it cannot accept a philosophy so opposed to political subjugation 1.

Beyond ideological opposition from totalitarian states, Freemasonry was also falsely associated with communism by external critics. During the McCarthy era, conspiracy theories falsely accused Masons of acting as the driving force behind an international communist conspiracy, as an article on the United Grand Lodge of England's website notes.
