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.
