It really is all about the Fuhrerprinzip, Myfynmny. It's also why the military is so overtly religious--because giving up your moral agency and following an all-encompassing code for what amounts to convenience is a great way to get what you want in life without worrying about the outcomes your actions have on others or thinking about your place in the system to which you belong, whether that system is an imperialist military, a blood-stained organized criminal syndicate, or a church that routinely covers up child abuse. These organizations share some characteristics with socialism, but those are incidental and don't contribute directly to their abuses, only insofar as it gives weak-willed garbage an excuse not to point out how horrible they are and attracts the impoverished to join the various arms of the same big menace that ironically ensures that they will always stay impoverished. *seizes up*
