Sounds like you have an idea for a dystopian movie.

Movie or real life.

Insert an -archy or an -ocracy instead of 'The Group' and see if it fits.

Examples: British monarchy, rogue institutions like the CIA or the Catholic Church or any Corporation (which is what I had in mind as I wrote the above) or even a professional sportsball club.

Also, if you've ever been involved in BCP (business continuity planning) or DR (disaster recovery) you'll have spotted the benefits (even criticality) of switching to a dictatorship model to ensure the survival of The Group over the individual.

Welcome to the dystopia.
