Kraterocracy is an off-the-compass AuthRight ideology that believes it is the natural right of the strong to subjugate and tyrannize the weak. While Social Darwinism merely calls for the utter extermination of the weak, Kraterocracy calls for their complete subjugation. The only hope for the weak of achieving an even tolerable existence is to ascend the ranks via brute strength or manipulation. As such, Kraterocracy is highly comparable to an incredibly extreme and physical form of Oligarchy.
Beliefs
Kraterocracy believes in a system where the expression 'might makes right' is applied to governance. A kraterocratic government would be ruled by the strongest in society, most commonly through physical violence. However, a system like this could also be ruled by the most manipulative people as well, with people able to seize power through their abilities as a demagogue, rather than as a fighter. Nonetheless, kratocratic systems are often associated with physical force.
Kraterocrats are also often imperialists, ultranationalists, racists, sexists, or whatever else fits well into their “Might makes Right” mantra.
Real examples of similar systems.
Sparta
Sparta was an ancient Greek polis. As its mythical creator was considered Lycurgus. There was a caste system, divided into three castes: citizens, free people without civil rights, and slaves. Sparta was ruled by two hereditary kings, that were military commanders and warriors. Decisions were made by the council of elders with 30 members, including 2 kings. Boys from 7 years old were subjected to physical and military training that was intended to create strong warriors. Weak and disabled children were abandoned in mountains or thrown from rocks.

Fictional
Law of the jungle
The Law of the Jungle is a fictional concept from the book The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. This law would be a code of law in a jungle, which would be especially for packs. The laws of the code are made explicit in the poem "The law for the wolves" which has phrases like: "...For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack..." and "...Remember that the wolf is a hunter - go ahead and get your own food...".
Other definitions state what would be said would be the lack of civilized laws and the strongest being able to do what they want, in which the collins dictionary uses the following example sentence: "The law of the jungle demands: kill or be killed."
Warhammer 40k
Warhammer 40k game is about humanity ruled by an absolute doctrine with other cosmic powers and with its own internal conflicts. For millennia, people have held hegemony organized in a big state officially known as the Empire of Man with its capital on Earth known as Holy Terra, which brings together nearly a million inhabited planets and covers a larger area of the galaxy. The Empire from the very beginning has been led by the immortal Emperor, surrounded by a divine cult, whose will is interpreted by the Archlords of Terra. The human state is a dystopian in which oppressive xenophobia is promoted, and the superiority of people over other civilizations, where progress and new mental movements are severely condemned, for fear of mankind deviating from believing in the Emperor's instructions.

Personality and Behaviour
Kraterocracy combines the "might-makes-right" attitude of Social Darwinism, with the imposing, intimidating, and calculating demeanor of Ingsoc. He will not hesitate to punch, fight, and/or utterly obliterate any and all who stand in his way, but usually refrains from doing so for the sake of polite conversation and political subterfuge.

Partially Worthy
- Ingsoc - You may subjugate the weak, but in their luxury and brainwashing, the Inner Party grows weak as well.
- Avaritionism - Your strong may succeed, but what is the purpose of strength if not to subjugate?
- Hive-Mind Collectivism - You do establish sovereignty, but if every foe is alike, what weak is there to subjugate?
- Kleptocracy - Why must you keep your strength a secret? Make your deception known to the world.
- Oligarchy - If only you were as strong as me, but you're not so I cannot be your friend.
- Nazism - You claim to be the master race and yet you lost?
- National Capitalism - A moderate whose meekness makes him a weak foe.
- Racial Nationalism & Ethnonationalism - You see differences between nations but people inside of your nation are different as well. You don't understand this and treat them equally.
- Capitalism - Yes, there is no unjust hierarchy, but living in luxury makes him a weak foe.

- National Bolshevism - You're very similar to the one above but more aggressive and therefore more worthy.

- Neoconservatism - You seem to focus too much on trivial things such as "Diplomacy". At least, you're still a worthy foe.
- Post-Humanism - A futuristic foe of formidable might similar to mine, unfortunately, our end goals are not exactly in the same path. But Smasher is based.
- Senatorialism - An unworldly foe I have never seen in my entire existence... You are the only true white whale left for me to conquer.
And you are actually stronger than me, but I'm scared to admit it. - Illuminatism - Why are you so secretive? Real rulers don't fear to reveal themselves to the masses.

Some are born strong, some with greater beauty, some are born into poverty, and others are born sick and feeble, but in birth and in upbringing, in the sheer scope of ability, every individual is inherently different. That is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is a struggle, competition, and the unfaltering march of progress, while only the weak are left behind. There is nothing unnatural about inequality, but EQUALITY IS.
