Are we there yet?

  1. Dissent is equated to violence

  2. Media is controlled

  3. The legal system is co-opted by the state

  4. Power is exerted to quash dissent

  5. State police protect the regime, not the people

  6. Rights—financial, legal, and civil—are contingent on compliance

  7. Mass conformity of beliefs and behaviors is demanded

  8. Power is concentrated in inner ring of elite institutions and people

  9. Semi-organized violence is permitted (in some cases)

  10. Propaganda targets enemies of the state regime

  11. Entire classes singled out for persecution

  12. Extra-legal actions are condoned against internal regime opponents

  13. Harsh legal enforcement against unfavored classes

  14. Private and public levers of power are used to enforce adherence to state dogmas
