I grew up under 30 years of a regimented government that prioritized the safety of what I would like to call their organization. It was more about generating profits and creating assets for themselves from the sweat of their citizens. They built and funded a system that protected them, not the other way around. The priority should have been the safety and well-being of the individual, and I am emphasizing safety and well-being more than freedom and free speech. This is because the citizens' priorities are not yet on that level. They first need to survive and have a roof over their heads before they can discuss other things. When the regime fell and the system was broken due to our rebellion against it, the punishment was chaos and destruction for the entire society.
