Patrimonialism

Patrimonialism is a style of governing that is based on absolute loyalty and personal connection similar to organized crimes and street gangs. Patrimonialism doesn’t abide by the rules or laws.

Patrimonialism treats the nation like a personal property. Patrimonialism doesn’t care about competence, experience, or expertise. With the installment of incompetent loyalists, family members, and friends, patrimonial will transition into authoritarianism.

Patrimonialism is deeply corrupted. Patrimonialism doesn’t recognize conflicts of interest or code of ethics. There’s no distinction between moral and immoral, legal and illegal, formal and informal, federal and personal.
