Hitler couldn't get an adjutant out of bed to help resolve a crisis, because that was outside the rules. Yet he could get soldiers to murder millions of innocents when he was doing it under color of law. Germans would only obey "the law", but "the law" could be anything. [1/4]

The idea of a society that can achieve more because individual behavior is controlled by centrally maintained software is at the root of civilization. Fascism took this to its extreme, demonstrating both the power of this concept as well as how horribly it fails.

A momentous mistake is the confusion between "control" and order. "Control" is actually chaos. "Legislation" is the opposite of law. Rulers are the opposite of rules. Central command is the opposite of order. Hierarchical monopolies are the opposite of efficient organizations.
