HSRP-580
The necrophilic hive mind is the authoritarian hive at its worst: a hive whose line, laws and structures turn against life, recognized by what a group's own texts, laws and practice say and do. It names a mode, never a person or a people.

3. What it rests on
-
The author's name for the authoritarian hive at its worst, the fourth rung of the ladder in WHAT A HIVE MIND IS, is the necrophilic hive mind. It names a hive whose line, laws and structures are turned against life: they treat persons as things, put control above life and inquiry, close their own founding to review, glorify killing, cast outsiders as decay while calling the group pure, and run procedure over the living person. The word "necrophilia" is older than Erich Fromm; the sense is his: he used it for a character in a person. Applied to institutions, it is this project's own model HSRP-412. It names a mode, never a person or a people, and it is recognized by what a group's own texts, laws and practice say and do, never by who its victims were.

- HSRP-412 · AUTHOR'S POSITION · THE AUTHOR'S DETERMINATION (the author's position): the line has been crossed. The author sets the model of institutionalized necrophilia beside the research as a determinant condition. His argument: a government that claims to rule a people because they cannot rule themselves, citing their immorality, must draw from that same stock the individuals who decide how it acts; absent morality within the institution, and having embodied the necrophilia harbored in the individuals of the population, the government is in a position and on a trajectory to devolve, and has thus crossed the line. Texts set beside the argument, each established as a text: Jefferson's First Inaugural (1801), Plato's Republic VIII, Federalist No. 55, John Adams to the Massachusetts Militia (1798) and Polybius VI.9. Necrophilia is Erich Fromm's term for an orientation of character in a person (Fromm, "Creators and Destroyers", 1964); its application to institutions is this project's model, and none of the texts quoted establishes that model. Polybius's own caution is kept: the stage of decline can be read, the time cannot, so the page names no date. The duty that follows is stated as the author's: to act on that knowledge, righteously and by lawful means, under a judgment that belongs to God (Acts 5:29); Nuremberg Principle IV is cited as a parallel only. The site's rule stands beside it: this is a moral judgment and no defense in any court (United States v. Benabe).Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-581 · WORKING · Six marks are read in a group's own texts, laws and practice: persons as things; control above life and inquiry; a founding closed to review; killing glorified; decay for outsiders, purity for the group; procedure above the living person; punishments count as outcomes, never as marks.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-582 · WORKING · The marks fall into two clusters: control with a fixed line goes with punishing whoever departs from it, the right included; persons as things, glorified force and outsiders as disease go with removing whole categories of people.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-583 · PROBABLE · Both clusters recur in hives with a commanding center in every tradition and regime family examined, from a Roman rescript of about 302 to Lenin and the Nazi regime, the traditions this site admires included.Relation: not recorded
- HSRP-584 · AUTHOR'S POSITION · The necrophilic hive mind tends to persecute those who speak the truth or advocate natural law, peace, welfare and growth more than other hives of like power (the author's position). No study has measured an attraction to death in a group or tested the six marks as one syndrome, and where the record shows the hidden reason for a persecution, it was mostly power, property or faction.Relation: not recorded
