Elitist qualities are sometimes institutionalized in the
form of government as
Monarchy, or fascist states
such as Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy. Right
Wing refers to those who believe that the individual
should conform to specific Authoritative Dictates in
every aspect of living, which when compared to those
who do not, are superior and elite.
Inherent in the nature of the concept of Elitism is the
propensity of Fascism. Elitism is considered as the
superiority of states and conditions which is used as
entitlement, for every kind of advantage, special
privilege, preferred status, benefits and separate and
independent standards. The elite individual or class,
because they are considered as superior, deserve
special treatment. Naturally Elitists might assume,
that these superior traits should be institutionalized in
the form of government as the regulation of human
affairs. When the government is constituted such that
it supports a particular Authoritative Dictate, the
adherents of such, may favor strong central authority
as Fascism. When government is not constituted such
that it supports a particular perspective, then the
Right Wing adherents may favor overthrow, small or
no government at all.
When Elitists control government, the propensity to
Fascism takes
two forms which are termed Corrupt
and Altruistic Authoritarianism. Some elitists may
prefer and enjoy their superior status, in which case,
for this condition to exist, there must be others which
are considered inferior by comparative difference.
