The Techno-industrial System Is Exceptionally Tough Due To Its So-called "democratic" Structure And Its Resulting Flexibility. Because Dictatorial Systems Tend To Be Rigid, Social Tensions And Resistance Can Be Built Up In Them To The Point Where They Damage And Weaken The System And May Lead To Revolution.

Imagine A Society That Subjects People To Conditions That Make Them Terribly Unhappy, Then Gives Them The Drugs To Take Away Their Unhappiness. Science Fiction?

In Effect, Antidepressants Are A Means Of Modifying An Individual's Internal State In Such A Way As To Enable Him To Tolerate Social Conditions That He Would Otherwise Find Intolerable.
