I may not have my idea of entropy clear enough, but when I say that totalitarianism is lower entropy than authoritarianism, I’m not implying that entropy is equivalent to “bad things”. What I’ve got in mind is the idea that entropy is what happens unless an effort is made to get something else to happen.
How about “decay”? This way you won’t get grumpy people like me complaining that in physics you cannot decrease entropy no matter how much effort you make :-)
