I truly think that there is an element of industrial and organizational psychology (I/O) of scientifically known individual control mechanism that was likely discovered through the horrors of the world wars. They admit that IQ and organizational principles of hierarchy that we are all familiar with were “proven” to be the “best” way to organize leadership in the military and even in major industrial centres and thus a lot of private society was guided the same way. Therefore I don’t think it’s out of the question that they concluded from the observation of war torn citizens in desperate need the state could exert more control by openly making that that comes from slowly tipping the scales in society so that more and more people can’t keep up intellectually, economically and emotionally. I think it is another method of control to keep any one person from having any power to change.
This isn't a complete analysis only a short vibe para analysis
