Andrew M. LOBACZEWSKI - "Chirurgia slowa"
The adhesion to an ideology that will later turn into a pathocracy - has nothing to do with the ideological content (including the "class struggle" ideology).
It means the phenomenon has to deal with something else! In 2026, there could be an unwanted "over-focus" on the ideological specs. "Nazism", "Communism"... Seems even if Nazism wasn't that positive - the real problem has to be found elsewhere.
Here is another interesting quote, specifically on Communism:
In "political ponerology", Andrew Lobaczewski starts a chapter with a positive view on Communism, but explaining how Communism could work if tweaked a bit. I assume when he is criticizing Communism, he speaks of the above: "Communism" seems to have been an ideology, created from scratch, artificially designed so as to serve other goals than how would a standard ideology.
I think the matter here is that real "Communism" remains to be invented. I am reminded here of Pierre's article "post-imperialism"; ultimately, the working models for a community of humans would be a sort of Commun-ism.
The above excerpt shows, IMO, how Russia's Communism was rather a sort of "tool", primarily designed to yield revolutions. An "Instrumental" ideology.
Already in the 1950s, the first statistical approaches indicated that the percentage of people inclined to subordinate their personalities to this bizarre and criminal system of power was similar across all social groups considered. These data implied the falsification of all suggested or individual doctrines, including the one that linked this system to a supposed class struggle. This degraded the value of ideology and confronted researchers with their own ignorance and a phenomenon unmeasurable in the terms accepted in the social sciences.

Here is another interesting quote, specifically on Communism:
Communist ideology was the guiding vision for revolutionaries of the time. However, at the highest inspirational level, it was from the outset an instrumental ideology, intended to pave the way for the conquest of countries through controlled revolutions.
