There are no clean distinctions between various degrees of abuse of power and authority. The transition from a benevolent/paternalistic government to a military dictatorship can be gradual without catastrophic change; and vice versa. The change is particularly difficult to deal with if it is concealed by collusive games of mutual self deception in which all the citizens participate. The movement from integrity to the lack of integrity may be a popular movement which receives majority support and respect. When society becomes addictive in its processes the stage is set for popular leaders to acquire dictatorial powers under the guise of being benevolent paternal figures who know better than ordinary citizens how citizens should be taken care of. The dictator may be an addict playing the role of a benevolent codependent who takes good care of his/her supporting cast of players in a communal collusive game of mutual self deception. The dictator may be a popular addict who receives broad support and respect. Powerful addicts are often highly respected and granted great power by their cast of supportive codependents. Powerful addicts may be military leaders with addictive followers in armed forces who are ready to do violence in addictive service of their common collusive games of mutual self deception. They are honor bound to engage in arms races with each other in efforts to perfect their technologies of seeking security in ways which undermine true security. Powerful addicts are unlikely to promote open and honest intimacy in open and honest relationships. Militarists and technocrats seek to minimize open and honest intimacy by separating people into contrasting classes who look upon each other as being fundamentally different and subject to use and abuse. They divide people up into classes according to nationality, religion, economic station, sex, and life style; and teach each class to distrust each other class. Such divisions make each class easier to manipulate and control. The divisions promote confusion and eliminate creative initiatives which might trouble the leadership. Powerful addicts promote the evolution of disintegrative dichotomies in processes of thought and personal relationships. Dichotomies are divisions. Dichotomous language promotes divisions which make people easier to manipulate. It promotes the cause of addictive leaders to encourage people to concentrate upon questions having to do with which pole of each dichotomy is the best pole. Such preoccupations help to maintain confusion and inhibit integrative processes which might undermine the collusive leadership processes of the dictatorship. Dichotomies may have to do with concepts, word-use, social classes, religious classes, economic classes, educational classes, etc. They may all be manipulated to the advantages of a dictatorship which may be invisible to its victims and its leaders.
