Gotta agree here. It makes sense from a systems point of view what is happening here as well. The more they increase bureaucracy, tracking, monitoring, control the more unwieldly, unreliable and corrupted the whole apparatus becomes and the more they have to try to patch it up with bureaucracy, tracking, monitoring, control ... they are in a death spiral of increasing State control that can only led to more State control of everything until there is outright facism or totalitarian socialism and collapse.
The only way out of the death spiral of an increasing bloated, ineffective State requiring more bloated, ineffective State to fix it up is to release control completely. Devolve the power back to people, deconstruct the tracking, monitoring, control apparatus and collapse the State back to 5%-10% of economy (or less) and try to a maintain it there as long as possible to prevent the complexity death spiral from beginning again.
