States are inherently corrupt entities, where ascending to power is only possible through deceit. Those who command them exhibit psychopathic traits.

"It doesn't take an in-depth study to realize that, consistently, communist, pro-communist, or leftist rhetoric is entirely based on the exploitation of compassion and guilt. This is a common observation. However, Dr. Lobaczewski and his collaborators went beyond this perception. They discovered that, first, only a class of psychopaths possesses the mental aggressiveness necessary to impose themselves on a society through these means. Secondly, they observed that when psychopaths take control, moral insensitivity spreads throughout society, corroding human relations and turning life into a living hell. And thirdly, they found that this happens not because psychopathy is contagious, but because less active minds, by adapting to the new rules and values without question, become victims of a clearly hysterical or hysteria-like symptomatology. The hysterical person does not express what they truly feel but comes to believe in what they say—and since these words are merely repetitions of pre-packaged formulas disseminated in the environment like omnipresent gases, any attempt to bring them back to their real perceptions shakes their fragile psychological security so profoundly that it is perceived as a threat, an aggression, or even an insult."
