Before one can say, "this is wrong, I won't do it", one has to say "I".
Conscience
is the expression of the ego in the moral realm. To make a moral
judgment and to act on it are basically selfish acts. It's the self
that sees through its own eyes and acts on its own knowledge of right
and wrong.
Or to put it another way, you can't really be selfish if you can't live with yourself.
Narcissism on the other hand,
especially in the political realm, isn't concerned with the injuries
and burdens inflicted on other people. In fact, the more destructive the
consequences of obedience to those who obey the narcissist, the better.
Human sacrifice with beating hearts cut out and victims flayed alive,
that's great. Millions worked to death in slave labor camps in Siberia,
that's better, as far as the narcissist is concerned.
