Explanation of Lobaczewski's statement about "essential psychopsthy"

[AlexStratus]

I haven't read his book but I hope to do so soon. There is a statement that I see frequently and I really don't understand it, not I well as I want to understand anyway. Here it is:

"...After such a system has lasted several years,
one hundred percent of all the cases of essential
psychopathy are involved in pathocratic activity"

I understand that "essential psychopathy" is a certain isolated hereditary anomaly that is "essential" for a pathocracy to survive. And a pathocracy is a government controlled by psychopaths. The part about 100% of all the cases are involved in patho-activity I don't quite get.

I think of it a bit like a bucket full of pebbles. You can shake the bucket and the smaller and larger pebbles start to separate. After carrying on with this for a certain period of time, 100% of the larger pebbles have risen to the top (hang on, is that the right way round? I think so!)

so, in a similar way, after a certain period of a pathological society existing and getting a firmer and firmer grip, 100% of psychopaths are integrated in some way or other into the 'pathocracy'. This doesn't necessarily mean that they are part of the 'government'. Instead, think of the extremes of Nazi Germany, and it got to the point where the everyday citizen was completely coerced into taking part in the Nazi regime (and it gets to the point where it is life-threatening not to participate), by spying on their neighbours, by reporting 'suspicious behaviour', by attending rallies, by participating in 'compulsory enthusiasm' for the nazi party, providing endless material/justification for bullying, extortion, blackmail etc. etc and in a million different smaller evil ways, throughout society right to its very limits. The psychopath would naturally gravitate into such a mode of operation, once this became more publically 'acceptable' and then even 'encouraged', and so it would inevitably be.

In a 'normal' society, or the early stages of a pathocracy, psychopaths are not necessarily part of the ruling class. They are found in a variety of organizations and groups of all political persuasions, some of which are inimical towards each other. As you probably know, psychopaths have no ideological consistency (they simply use ideologies as a cloak to solidify their power). So, in later stages of pathocracy, 100% of psychopaths in a given population will in some way serve "the party". They will see that people like them are in power, and become part of the control system, whether that means they will occupy government positions, military, police, community organizations, etc. They become evenly distributed among society's leadership/influential positions so that, with a system of informers, they are like Big Brother from 1984.

I think that is it. As the author said, they recognize each other easily from an early age. So once a few are in positions of power, they can appoint others AND the non-pathos probably move away. I think that even without knowledge of psychopathic personalities, there is a subconscious revulsion that gradually compels the non-pathos to move away. And if they don't move away, and they object to much...they are removed one way or another.
Years ago, before I had heard of ponerology, I wondered what it would feel like just to sit in a small room with the Clinton's. This was long before I knew anything about the Foster incident or much else. but I thought it would feel creepy. Now I know why.
