6. Paternalism. Decisions are made by those with power and influence, and others are expected to abide by those decisions. Decision-making processes are deliberately opaque. Strong in/out-group statuses are established, and adherence to them is tightly linked to perfectionism. The good is made the enemy of the impossible ideal.

7. Power is hoarded. The ability to direct action and/or change is monopolized as much as possible. Shared governance is on suffrage. Punishments are harsh by design.
