<p>Read some Foucauld. power is internalised.<p>People absorb the norms of their social class and start policing themselves and others without needing orders or hierarchical power dynamics.<p>Norm enforcement can spread faster and further than formal authority because lots of people can act on a signal whilst thinking they drew their own conclusions. Think of steve bannon's quote "politics is downstream of culture".<p>formal rank of the speaker is less important than that the signal comes from the socially legitimate tribe whose approval, language, and standard the subject is a member.</p>
