overwhelming majority of people begin to manifest their own
phenomenon of psychological immunization. Society simulta-
neously starts collecting practical knowledge on the subject of
this new reality and its psychological properties.
Normal people slowly learn to perceive the weak spots of
such a system and utilize the possibilities of more expedient
arrangement of their lives. They begin to give each other ad-
vice in these matters, thus slowly regenerating the feelings of
social links and reciprocal trust. A new phenomenon occurs:
separation between the pathocrats and the society of normal
people . The latter have an advantage of talent, professional
skills, and healthy common sense. They therefore hold certain
very advantageous cards. The pathocracy finally realizes that it
must find some modus vivendi or relations with the majority of
society: “After all, somebody’s got to do the work for us.”
POLITICAL PONEROLOGY
197
There are other needs and pressures felt by the pathocrats,
especially from outside. The pathological face must be hidden
from the world somehow, since recognition of the deviant rul-
ership by world opinion would be a catastrophe. Ideological
propaganda alone would then be an inadequate disguise. Pri-
marily in the interests of the new elite and its expansionary
plans, a pathocratic state must maintain commercial relations
with the countries of normal man. The pathocratic state aims to
achieve international recognition as a certain kind of political
structure; and it fears recognition in terms of a true clinical
diagnosis.
All this makes pathocrats tend to limit their measures of ter-
ror, subjecting their propaganda and indoctrination methods to
a certain cosmetology, and to accord the society they control
some margin of autonomous activity, especially regarding cul-
tural life. The more liberal pathocrats would not be averse to
giving such a society a certain minimum of economic prosper-
ity in order to reduce the irritation level, but their own corrup-
tion and inability to administer the economy prevents them
from doing so.
And so, with the above considerations being brought to the
forefront of pathocratic attention, this great societal disease
continues to run its course through a new phase: methods of
activity become milder, and there is coexistence with countries
whose structure is that of normal man.
Any psychopathologist studying this phenomenon will be
reminded of the dissimulative state or phase of a patient at-
tempting to play the role of a normal person, hiding his patho-
logical reality although he continues to be sick or abnormal.
Let as therefore use the term “the dissimulative phase of
pathocracy” for the state of affairs wherein a pathocratic sys-
tem ever more skillfully plays the role of a normal sociopoliti-
cal system with “different” doctrinal institutions.
In this phase, normal people within the country ruled by
pathocrats become resistant and adapt themselves to the situa-
tion. On the outside, however, this phase is marked by out-
standing ponerogenic activity . The pathological material of this
system can all-too-easily infiltrate into other societies, particu-
larly if they are more primitive, and all the avenues of

PATHOCRACY
pathocratic expansion are facilitated because of the decrease of
commonsensical criticism on the part of the nations constitut-
ing the territory of expansionism.
Meanwhile, in the pathocratic country, the active structure
of government rests in the hands of psychopathic individuals,
and essential psychopathy plays a starring role, especially dur-
ing the dissimulative phase. However, individuals with obvious
pathological traits must be removed from certain areas of activ-
ity: namely, political posts with international exposure, where
such personalities could betray the pathological contents of the
phenomenon. Individuals with obvious pathological traits are
also limited in their ability to exercise diplomatic functions or
to become fully cognizant with the political situations of the
countries of normal man. Therefore, the persons selected for
such positions are chosen because they have thought-processes
more similar to the world of normal people; in general, they are
sufficiently connected to the pathological system to provide a
guarantee of loyalty.95 An expert in various psychological
anomalies can nevertheless discern the discreet deviations upon
which such links are based. Another factor to be noted is the
great personal advantages accorded to such demi-normal indi-
viduals by the pathocracy. Small wonder, then, that such loy-
alty is sometimes deceptive. This applies in particular to the
sons of typical pathocrats, who of course enjoy trust because
they have been reared to allegiance since infancy; if through
some happy genetic coincidence they have not inherited patho-
logical properties, their nature takes precedence over nurture.
Similar needs apply to other areas as well. The building di-
rector for a new factory is often someone barely connected
with the pathocratic system but whose skills are essential. Once
the plant is operational, administration is taken over by
pathocrats, which then often leads to technical and financial
ruin.
The army similarly needs people endowed with perspicacity
and essential qualifications, especially in the area of modern
weapons and warfare. At crucial moments, healthy common
sense can override the results of pathocratic drill. In such a
state of affairs, many people are forced to adapt, accepting the

ruling system as a status quo, but also criticizing it. They fulfill
their duties amid doubts and conflicts of conscience, always
searching for a more sensible way out which they discuss
within trusted circles. In effect, they are always hanging in a
limbo between pathocracy and the world of normal people.
Deficiently faithful people have been and are a factor of the
pathocratic system’s internal weakness.
The following questions thus suggest themselves: what
happens if the network of understanding among psychopaths
achieves power in leadership positions with international expo-
sure? This can happen, especially during the later phases of the
phenomenon. Goaded by their character, such deviant people
thirst for just that even though it ultimately conflicts with their
own life interest, and so they are removed by the less patho-
logical, more logical wing of the ruling apparatus. Such devi-
ants do not understand that a catastrophe would otherwise en-
sue. Germs are not aware that they will be burned alive or bur-
ied deep in the ground along with the human body whose death
they are causing.
If the many managerial positions are assumed by individu-
als deprived of sufficient abilities to feel and understand the
majority of other people, and who also exhibit deficiencies in
technical imagination and practical skills - (faculties indispen-
sable for governing economic and political matters) - this then
results in an exceptionally serious crisis in all areas, both
within the country in question and with regard to international
relations. Within, the situation becomes unbearable even for
