Most of Negans group “work” for him and didn’t necessarily join his group voluntarily. Big difference. Rule by force compared to willing loyalty...

This is his(Negan's) leadership style.

Whether by love or fear,Negan's group can be said to be more successful(at least as long as the story will allow) than all the other groups Rick has encountered.

If one is allowed to compare to the real world, I'd say the Nazis. Assembling like minded individuals, compelling the indecisive to act affirmatively(in THEIR viewpoint), and eliminating any opposition. Successful at organization and setting and accomplishing goals(however satanic)

Of course we all know how the Nazis story ended. And no doubt the same will be with Negan's(good guys always win in the end.)

The question is, who will survive in the end!
