Nope that’s not it.
Yes yes it is

Yes it does it as you must ask why your philosophy is so ripe for abuse and why it attracts abusers in the first place

If I might contribute my $0.02 CDN, a part of the problem comes from a sense of exclusivity, an "us versus them" mentality.  Whenever a group sees non-members as a problem to be solved, the group concentrates its resources to try to achieve that goal.  This creates a nexus of power that could be used beneficially, but all too often someone is attracted to the power and then proceeds to abuse it.  This can happen in any group, any philosophy, but IMO a sense of mission and urgency makes it easier to exploit and misdirect the group.
But i argue there has to be something more structural and inherent to the philosophy for the abuse to succeed and something about the ideology that attracts such people in first place or even gives them an inkling their plot will not be rejected  or countered .

But all you have said does play a role i'm sure it just isn't the central driver of the abuse .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
