These ideas are philosophically void, but really thrive in practice. I think it has to do with encoding population into discrete identities, this is why buraucracies love it, it's like building an API between populations and institutions. Instead of going through a process of representation (like a union or voting) you simply assign yourself a ready made identity and get represented.
