Power mongers try to rationalize their domination by pretending that it is based on superiority. There is too much acceptance of that concept based on the assumption that power is virtue and powerlessness is corruption, which is bigotry.

Part of the reason is because of the assumption that the purpose in life is to be winners. To be winners requires mongering power through domination and rationalizing it as superiority. Reagan said, if you need to explain, you are already a loser. He assumed that being a winner is the purpose in life and rationality is for fools. Rationality requires explanation of claims.

The reason why Reagan assumed being a winner was an obvious purpose in life is because of the wide-spread assumption that it is. So there needs to be more of an explanation of the frauds of that subject.

What Reagan was saying is that being a winner is incompatible with rationality, since it obviously is. Being in conflict with rationality should show the error in the assumption; but instead, it promotes the hate for rationality which is the real force driving corrupters to be winners.

The origin of corruption is when incompetents find that they are losers where there is rationality and turn to domination to make themselves winners in defiance of rationality. Corrupters hate rationality, because it places demands upon them and generates truth as the only force corrupters cannot defeat. They can temporarily defy truth; but truth doesn't go away; it constantly increases through the interaction of realities, because it is a link to the objective realities of the universe which define life and solutions to problems.

Domination puts incompetent corrupters in control of our lives. So weak-minded persons assume there must be some form of superiority that produces that result. Of course, power mongers insist that there is, such as the Nazis claiming they were creating an Arian race by getting rid of the worthless eaters.

What it means is that corruption is needed to make incompetents winners; and therefore corruption becomes a necessity in promoting superiority. There is an inherent contradiction in assuming the destructivity of corruption leads to the constructivity of producing superior results.

So there is a rationalization for destructivity producing constructivity. At the periphery, the assumption or claim is that a little bit of imperfection is needed to get things done. Deeper into the scheme, a lot of force and violence is assumed to be necessary in getting things done. Seeing the error is a large part of the difference creating the social conflict that continually increases, as fascism overwhelms the social order.
