Examples

“Ľudia sa môžu postaviť proti kontrolnému systému nie kvôli jeho vnútorným vlastnostiam, ale kvôli tomu, čo sa týka straty moci v porovnaní s inou skupinou, alebo preto, že sa domnievajú, že obmedzí ich schopnosť využívať svoju iniciatívu a skúsenosti.”

People may oppose a control system not because of its intrinsic properties, but because of what it entails in terms of losing power compared to another group, or because they believe it will limit their ability to use their initiative and experience.
