It’s about the tools—from propaganda and surveillance to patriotism and legal frameworks—used to shape what citizens believe is possible, proper, and permissible.
Theory of Political Social Control Example: A government implementing a national "social credit" system.

It uses state power to coercively engineer specific citizen behavior and squash dissent, ensuring political stability through enforced conformity.
