Left wing analysis of Freemasons/secret societies?
I'm reading Hobsbawm and these guys randomly appear all the time but he never bothers to explain who they are and what they want

They're literally just frats but for middle-aged, usually settled men. Far less wild and rapey, more grill-and-charity-drive-y. They do rituals and rites because having secret dress up with your boys is fun as shit, it essentially serves the same social function as any in-joke.
