Doctrinal managers should more accurately be called brain snatchers, because they have refined the art of propaganda to such an extent as to effectively control people’s thoughts (and, by extension, their behavior as well, as intended), in order to undermine democratic thoughts and habits, with far-reaching consequences. But the bottom line is that a hierarchically organized society is an undemocratic society no matter how free and fair elections are, because in a genuine democracy power and wealth are widely dispersed, not concentrated. This has nothing to do with Communism (recall that the Bolshevik system was hierarchical and excessively authoritarian, hence deeply undemocratic). It is above all a moral imperative.
