Dangerous classes: threat, need for state to have info on citizens. Interest in trying to gain as much information as possible on each person so that we can learn to better manage and control these populations. Especially needed to collect info on those who pose a possible threat: need to control. The only way we can do this is if we have additional information about them. Massive infiltration of the state and the interest of the state with certain individuals.
