So the current regime knows the only way to protect monopoly and one family power is to place control all over the world more over the people to track each of your moves and making you to obey for more rules....non of that would not happening If the elite feel fear that other people want get power aswell.
Every regime definitely wants to control many things and it is not only talking domestically because they even try to influence other countries for their power. Power has a nomenclature and almost nothing is eternal in its level of influence because in the end it will be replaced by another power. But because of the greed of the regime, it tries to manipulate the system to make its regime survive. If you look at history, almost everything was destroyed even though the glory days were arguably quite long and that is proven throughout the world.
The presence of the government should be able to provide something that is quite beneficial for the people in it. Not eroding anything that is considered to be an advantage for them and that is a corrupt regime that does not deserve to be given the opportunity to lead.
Yes, it is very common to hear but very few people accomplish it and mostly people from other countries do it so they don't have any problem in doing such things. But it's fun when they do what they say. This is the main reason due to which both the government and the people are corrupt and the people keep themselves alive to harm others for the sake of their conscience. If the government does its work honestly, this will not happen in any country and people will be well. Yes, if you look back 10 years from today, everything is proven from today. And in those days everyone lived well and with quality and the government used to be good. When the government has not been able to provide that thing till date, how will it see us, if this thing starts happening, there will be no problem. And such a thing is found in very few countries. And by the way you are absolutely right. But we only think which government will come and destroy our people.
