I am finding this interesting:
Political Ponerology by by Andrew M. Łobaczewski is essential reading for people, like us, living under pathocracy and within a fully ponerized society. A pathocracy is rule by psychopaths and a ponerized society is one that falls under their influence and control. To get to the heart of the matter, you might start at pages 183-191, then backtrack. These pages will read like intense dramatic fiction, only they describe a real phenomenon, one that is happening to us.Incidentally, I wrote the Foreword to the book.Here's a brief summary of pages 183-191:As Łobaczewski explains, pathocracy, or rule by psychopaths, arises through stages, the first stage consisting of the introduction of a political ideology by schizoid personalities. This original ideology is psychologically impoverished due to the schizoids' cynical and psychologically deficient view of human nature and deficits in psychological worldview. "The conviction that Karl Marx is the best example of this is correct..."The original ideology is next adopted by "characteropathic personalities," who vulgarize and popularize the ideology, driving the original adherents out, vilifying, and persecuting them--as happened in the Soviet Union.When the structures created by the ideology are then infiltrated and taken over by psychopaths, the ideology becomes a caricature of itself, and it is no longer useful to describe it in terms of its original nomenclature. It becomes a pathocratic ideology, best understood not in terms of the original ideology but in terms of the diseased mentalities of those who have appropriated and who wield it: "At this point, using the name of the original ideology to designate this phenomenon is meaningless and becomes an error rendering it more difficult to comprehend, and thus counter effectively." By now, even the characteropaths are pushed aside and deemed "counter-revolutionary.""If such a movement triumphs by revolutionary means and in the name of slogans of freedom, the welfare of the people, social justice, and internationalism, this only brings about further transformation of the governmental system thus created into a macrosocial pathological phenomenon. Within this system, the common man is blamed for not having been born a psychopath, and is considered good for nothing except hard work, fighting, and dying to protect a system of government he can neither sufficiently comprehend nor ever consider to be his own."Attacks on "deviationists" become prevalent...The ponerized society nevertheless consists of a majority of normal people, who are needed to undertake functionary roles, at least. Etc.The good news: "The achievement of absolute domination by pathocrats in the government of acountry cannot be permanent since large sectors of the society become disaffected by such rule and eventually find some way of toppling it.."
