There are semi-competent oppressive regimes, like china, and incompetent ones, like many in south america. Still useful on a spectrum, and significantly more useful with low-tech or poor oppressive regimes.

Also large orgs run on percentages, economics and so on. Anything that makes it more expensive to be oppressive or change the balance of things is useful. It doesn't have to be a %100 solution to be helpful.
