-
Top-down hierarchal structure that privileges a select few over everyone else
-
A belief that their way is the only right or correct way and that other ways of living are wrong or incorrect
-
Tight control on the lives of those not in the elite few, leadership makes leaving next-to-impossible using threats and coercion
-
Dissent and critical thinking are suppressed, and critics are vilified
-
Willing to engage in immoral and unethical activities to preserve their own power
That might sound like a niche cult out in the woods, but nope, it’s just capitalism!
