I appreciate this because it focuses on the mechanistic process of inter-human communication that actually implements the patterns we’re discussing. I feel like if this conversation is to continue usefully it probably should move towards precise mechanistic description, I’d be interested in a v2 of a post like this that taboos most names of organizational patterns and instead uses mechanistic descriptions. examples of words that I’d rather see as an expanded definition in most of the document (mentioning the name need not be forbidden, just don’t use the name at length): fascism; authoritarianism; democracy (!); [far] right, left. also, every “will”, “typically”, “often” should ideally be cited. Without these refinements this is already a great doc, but it needs to be a high quality argument about a fraught topic. I write this already in agreement with the title thesis, but I also agree that OP isn’t sufficiently verified evidence to be convincing to someone who doesn’t already have an epistemic state that makes this a small update.
