1. Because when you strip away all their propaganda, their core value is:

Everyone for him/herself. I got mine. Fuck you.

Their so-called party loyalty and their ability to march in goose step is merely the back road that leads to "MORE for me."

2. Part of the authoritarian ethos is taking abuse in order to ...

... obtain promotions which (1) reduce the number of those who can abuse you and (2) increase the number of those you can abuse. Thus, authoritarian systems promote masochists to sadists.

It also explains why torture comes easily to authoritarians.

6. While we fight for people, they exploit for themselves.

7. Endless greed leads to endless consumption.

Too much STILL isn't enough!
