2-5 Spiritual Enslavement and the Remaking of Personality: Party Culture, the Cult of the Leader, Informing and Mutual Harm, and Self-Censorship

SECTION FOCUS
This section examines how false doctrine enters people’s inner lives and everyday relationships. Political study, confession and declarations of position, the cult of the leader, Party stereotyped jargon, informing, and collective liability make people obey not only in public but also learn to censor themselves, to speak against their conscience, to distrust relatives and friends, and to take part in mutual harm; society thereby loses honesty, trust, and independent personhood. 2-5-1
