2. Symbolization: Giving names or other symbols to the classifications. This can also be done through colors or dress.
3. Dehumanization: One group denies the humanity of the other group. Members of it are equated with animals, vermin, insects or diseases.
4. Organization: Genocide is always organized, usually by the state, though sometimes informally or by terrorist groups. Special army units or militias are often trained and armed. Plans are made for genocidal killings.
5. Polarization: Extremists drive the groups apart. Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda. Laws may forbid intermarriage or social interaction.
42
The 6-8 stages of genocide
6.Preparation: Victims are identified and separated out because of their identity. Death lists are drawn up. Members of victim groups are forced to wear identifying symbols. Their property is expropriated. They are often segregated into ghettoes, forced into concentration camps, or confined to a famine-struck region and starved. '7:Extermination: The the mass killing legally called “genocide.” It is “extermination” to the killers because they do not believe their victims to be fully human.

8. Denial: It is among the surest indicators of further genocidal massacres. The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. They deny that they committed any crimes, and often blame what happened on the victims. They block investigations of the crimes, and continue to govern until driven from power by forve when they flee into exile
