You know what this reminds me of --- early communist movements. Members
were scrutinized to see if they were working hard enough for "the
cause", and criticized/shamed/punished if they were not. The leaders
became tyrants, and justified the tyranny because they were creating "a
better society". We all know that didn't end well.
