In his writings about charismatic authority, Weber applies the term charisma to "a certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of which he is set apart from ordinary men and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities.
Charismatic authority is 'power legitimized on the basis of a leader's exceptional personal qualities or the demonstration of extraordinary insight and accomplishment, which inspire loyalty and obedience from followers'.
Furthermore, sociology is axiologically neutral (Wertfreie Soziologie) towards various forms of charismatic domination: it does not differentiate between the charisma of a Berserker, of a shaman, of the founder of Mormonism or of that displayed by Kurt Eisner.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Tripartite classification of authority
Max Weber distinguished three ideal types of political leadership, domination and authority: charismatic domination (familial and religious), traditional domination (patriarchs, patrimonalism, feudalism) and legal domination (modern law and state, bureaucracy).
In traditional authority, the legitimacy of the authority comes from tradition, in charismatic authority from the personality and leadership qualities of the individual (charisma), and in legal (or rational-legal) authority from powers that are bureaucratically and legally attached to certain positions.
Charismatic authority almost always evolves in the context of boundaries set by traditional or rational (legal) authority, but by its nature tends to challenge this authority and is thus often seen as revolutionary.

Charismatic authority is one of three forms of authority laid out in Weber's tripartite classification of authority, the other two being traditional authority and rational-legal authority.
Charismatic authority almost always evolves in the context of examples of traditional or rational-legal authority which provide forms and boundaries, but by its nature tends to challenge currently accepted forms of authority and thus is often seen as revolutionary.
In order to help to maintain their charismatic authority, such regimes will often establish a vast personality cult, which can be seen as an attempt to lend legitimacy by an appeal to other forms of authority.

 Sociology 250 - Notes on Max Weber
Examples of dominance could include parent-child relationships, employer-employee relationships, teacher-student, domination within the family, political rule that is generally accepted and obeyed, or the relation between a priest and church member.
Charismatic domination means a rejection of all ties to any external order in favor of the exclusive genuine mentality of the prophet and hero.
Charismatic authority can easily degenerate into traditional authority, or personal or patrimonial rule, whereby the power is exercised by those who surround the charismatic leader, but purely in an interest to maintain that power.

Charismatic Leadership is defined by Max Weber as "resting on devotion to the exceptional sanctity, heroism or exemplary character of an individual person, and of the normative patterns or order revealed or ordained by him".

 Paul Bullen: Charismatic Domination
This third kind of legitimate domination (charismatic domination) is the basis for the "charismatic structure of domination." The political form of this domination is the topic of this paper.
Charismatic domination is always an unusual and short-lived phenomenon occurring in the context of either traditional or rational-legal "routine" social arrangements.
Charismatic education in this sense, with its novitiates, trials of courage, tortures, gradations of holiness and honor, initiation of youths, and preparation for battle, is an almost universal institution of all societies which have experienced warfare.

 Charismatic Witchcraft
Charismatic manipulation is of the devil, and still a three letter word, sin.
People will use charismatic witchcraft to get their way in the local body, many of them are troublemakers who travel from one church to another if they can't get what they want, and they leave in their wake a large number of innocent victims who are confused and hurting.
Another method in charismatic witchcraft is that of manipulation, the use of a position or a power to dictate how the outcome will end removing the Holy Spirit from being the convictor and Judge, and manipulating to build one's own fame or kingdom.

Weber viewed democracy as a form of charismatic leadership where the "demagogue imposes his will on the masses." For this reason, the European left is highly critical of Weber for, albeit unwittingly, "preparing the intellectual groundwork for the leadership position of Adolf Hitler."
A politician ought to marry the ethic of ultimate ends and the ethic of responsibility, and must possess both a passion for his avocation and the capacity to distance himself from the subject of his exertions (the governed).
Weber distinguished three pure types of political leadership, domination and authority: charismatic domination (familial and religious), traditional domination (patriarchs, patrimonalism, feudalism), and legal domination (modern law and state, bureaucracy).

 Synergies in Deviance: Revisiting the Positive Deviance Debate
For Weber charismatic authority is a property attributed to innovating and expansive personalities who through their own extraordinariness are attributed with possessing a divine grace.
While Weber stresses the power of charisma and its ability to disrupt traditionally and rational legally legitimated systems of authority, he also outlined its fragility, that it is often short lived, plagued by problems of succession and instability which make it susceptible to be replaced by rational bureaucratic forms.
In his analysis of modern parliamentary political – and to a lesser extent administrative and economic- institutions, he also dealt with a recurrent appearance of charismatic qualities imputed to a spectacular, extraordinary, disruptive exercise of authority by an individual (Shils 1975:256).

Weber described the ideal type bureaucracy in positive terms, considering it to be a more rational and efficient form of organization than the alternatives that preceded it, which he characterized as charismatic domination and traditional domination.

However, he also emphasized that bureaucracy becomes inefficient when a decision must be adopted to an individual case.

 Snoqualmie
I'm 41 pages into Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity by Robert Jensen and the only feedback I can think to give the author is, in fact, "Deeper!" For a serious feminist scholar he seems to have an awfully superficial analysis of his chosen subject.
The problem I'm having with his arguments so far is this: a lack of distinction between "X" and "A particular dominant form of X which I am going to use to make arguments about X in its entirety".
He defines masculinity as entirely composed of machismo, necessarily constructed of violence and anxious striving for dominance, and he dismisses without consideration the very idea of alternate masculinities not based on such exploitation.

He argued that governments represented the interests of the dominant class, and that, eventually, the states of his era would be overthrown by those dominated by the rising class of the proletariat.
Many institutions of the modern state (especially in Western Europe and areas once dominated by Western-European empires) can trace their origins back to Ancient Rome, which inherited the political traditions of the Greeks and developed them further (particularly the rule of law, albeit in incomplete form).
However, the Roman Republic gave way to the Roman Empire - which, in turn, created the concept of universal empire: the idea that the entire world was (or should be) under the authority of one single legitimate state.

Weber is also well-known for his study of bureaucratization of society; many aspects of modern public administration go back to him, and a classic, hierarchically organized civil service of the Continental type is - if basically mistakenly - called "Weberian civil service".
In his work, Weber lays out a famous description of bureaucratization as a shift from value-oriented organization and action (see traditional authority and charismatic authority) to goal-oriented organization and action (legal-rational authority).
The result, according to Weber, is a "polar night of icy darkness", in which increasing bureaucratization of human life-activity traps individuals in an "iron cage" of rule-based, rational control.
