When we are deprived of out essential powers as free, creative beings, our social systems reflect our emptiness . Being one-down in a control hierarchy isn't a secure place. When people get deprived of freedom and security while at the same time they are bound by control systems, they behave like caged animals. Intelligent beings don't do well in cages. No matter how much closed systems try to control variables and shut out change, reality won't be shut out .
Reality is ever-shifting.
It sweeps through our systems and impels change whether the system controllers like it or not. It didn't work. Their determination to establish closed-system control exacted a terrible price from their people. That's the reason closed social systems don't work. Just as social systems can't ultimately ignore the dynamics of reality, so too they cannot ultimately ignore our dynamics.
