"Anyone criticizing the higher ups' decisions and policies is insulting the rank & file" How can one claim to be on the rank & file's side when they want the bad decisions that harm them to go on unchallenged?

The whole reason for the cultural clash here is that the fascist mindset -- like the monarchist mindset, like the right wing in general -- believes the leadership and the rank-and-file are a single unit, one organism, the state as a human body

And therefore they think they can and should dictate that the rank-and-file react to any insult to the leadership as though they were insulted, because they're *part of* the leadership, as much as your hand is a part of you To them this is the natural way to think

I'm one to say that the that human groups having collective intelligences of their own is a notion too often dismissed, but there's still a big difference in that when I cut open my hand my brain gets a nasty dose of pain signals; leadership in orgs don't.
