Pathocracy is a disease of great social movements followed by entire
societies, nations, and empires. In the course of human history, it has
affected social, political, and religious movements as well as the
accompanying ideologies... and turned them into caricatures of
themselves.... This occurred as a result of the ... participation of
pathological agents in a pathodynamically similar process. That
explains why all the pathocracies of the world are, and have been, so
similar in their essential properties.
....Identifying these phenomena through history and properly qualifying
them according to their true nature and contents - not according to the
ideology in question, which succumbed to the process of
caricaturization - is a job for historians. [...]
The actions of [pathocracy] affect an entire society, starting with the
leaders and infiltrating every town, business, and institution. The
pathological social structure gradually covers the entire country
creating a "new class" within that nation. This privileged class
[of pathocrats] feels permanently threatened by the "others", i.e.
by the majority of normal people. Neither do the pathocrats entertain
any illusions about their personal fate should there be a return to the
system of normal man. [Andrew M. Lobaczewski, Ph.D. (psychology);
