Tyranny.

We too often think of tyranny in terms of a single leader, but that's not what it is. It's the human tendency to assume personal God-like knowledge and enforce this knowledge over the freedoms of another. This judge and those in the school are convinced that "they know better", which is the pinnacle of human arrogance and ignorance.

Communism, socialism, and their kin lead to social tyranny in ways that are tremendously cruel and destructive. Our society is dissolving in front of us. Not surprisingly, it is dissolving from the head down. Notice this is happening in a very elite place. "The party" (h/t George Orwell) self-cleans before unleashing its power onto the proles.
