We construct many of our systems for dealing with the world unconsciously in early childhood, and it makes us into dysfunctional, neurotic adults.
Our power structures were made early on without conscious public supervision, and it's made us a dysfunctional, neurotic society.
Any system that is made outside of conscious perception will be warped and dysfunctional, for the same reason a drawing you make in the dark will be an indecipherable scribble. Seeing is always the cure for this, whether you're talking about psychological mechanisms or power.
To heal a dysfunctional unconscious coping system for dealing with the world, apply a lot of inner work to make those unconscious mechanisms seen so you can heal them. To heal dysfunctional power structures, apply a lot of transparency.
