Social power is a reflection of how someone is treated by others in a society, and especially of their effective ability to influence or control others. Influence over others is both ex officio (stemming from jobs which put them in charge of others) and of a less formal, social, nature. This second aspect of influence is used by deep state groups to control national governments.
