Milestone 5 Authoritarian vs. Democratic SMOs Reading p. 135-153
Authoritarian • Everything revolves around authority Strict hierarchy • Life is threatening Danger at every turn Everyone needs a protector Humans are primarily stupid, evil, or selfish Superiors use inferiors as they see fit
Followers who: Submit to a leader Dedicated to following leader Do not value variety and discussion Rely on leader for ideology/ideas
Democratic World is friendly and supportive Little danger or need for protection Mutual respect Humans are colleagues and partners not rivals Danger is unusual rather than normal
Followers who: Are empowered by leader Are diverse and talented Become less dependent on leader as they become informed More localized

Types of resistance Evasion Counter Persuasion Coercive Persuasion Adjustment
Evasion Attempt to ignore a SM, pretending that it does not exist or is not worthy of response
Counter Persuasion Challenge the movement’s version of reality and discredit its leaders, members, or demands. Appeals to fundamental fears among the public. Warns of dire results if movement is successful.
Coercive Persuasion Threats, harassment, police action, telephone threats, arrests, covert operations, infiltration
Adjustment • Give the appearance of being responsive to “legitimate” concerns by pledging funds to address a problem, creating special study commissions, and sacrificing personnel the movement finds offensive.
