Social movements that systematically deny the importance of a balance between subsystem correlation layers associated with consensus (iv), belief (v), and observation (vi) generally become politically totalitarian. This is true of movements which elevate enterprise (iv) over the greater good (vi) and vice versa, as well as those which assume that religion (v) reigns supreme.
By compressing three independent "ways to wiggle" (degrees of freedom) down to a smaller number, they provide a structure for occupancy by organisms evolved in a neolithic setting that's degenerate in the same way that electron states around an atom might acquire energy degeneracy in the absence of a magnetic field.
