A very clear example of this occured about seventy years ago. After fifty years of continual and highly useful tension, increasing government control, ever-steeper taxes and a growing military establishment, the major nations of Europe concluded four years of total war in 1918. No, not at all. As a result of the war's convulutions, a large, but weak nation to the east, Russia, had undergone a revolutionary change in its social system, and was now operating on a formal ideology called Communism, an ideology that officially sought to change the entire planet, much as the American Revolutionary ideology sought planetary improvement after our own revolution. Any internal dissent within the victors' territory was then labeled 'Communist' and supressed.
Governments turn the same trick with street crime and criminal justice.
On the island of Jamaica, a protest religion has developed called Rastafarianism. The Rastas correctly call the current state of affairs on Earth The Babylon System. Rastafarians believe the whole third world as well as the working and middle-classes in the industrial nations are currently enslaved, and call for a revolutionary uplifting of mass consciousness, so that all might prosper in peace and love. The only ones who would be hurt would be the top rankin' slave masters who skim the cream from The Babylon System for their own. Unfortunately, though praying for an uplift, the Rastas devote most of their energy destroying their own awareness with huge overdoses of marijuana, whose continuous and heavy use they consider a sacrament.
