Creativity encompasses the ability to think creatively with imagination and to venture into new spheres.

To invent, create, and improve something that is useful to man.

Rigid totalitarian systems always fail because they lack the elasticity of creativity and the freedom of thought and ease of new creation. This is where ideology sets the course allowing no deviation. The leadership clique and an omnipotent bureaucracy decide on the new and always fail in this Herculean task. 

Creativity requires the oxygen of individuality.

Conformity and bureaucracy kill it.
