If you are psychopat and you want to control vast number of people, you can't do it physically. You must find some other way to convince people to obey your psychopathic needs. They succeeded in that by hypnotizing us to believe state and government are some mytical beings we must obey. They use those 'beings' to push the more psychopathic orders they can. It depends how much people allow it.
