    Progress!

    In their minds this means that the rule of those in power must progressively grow by any means necessary. Individual sacrifices in any amount are not a hindrance to this most noble goal.

    Everything!

    The wrong answer but, hey, a monopoly of force that uses any means necessary to justify their ends, just doesn't want silly moral limitations.
