Dronization trades the state’s social branch for its armed branch.

Evidence

What is at stake in the process of dronization is the establishment of a balance between the withering of the state’s social branch and the maintenance of its armed branch. And here we come to understand concretely what lies beneath the premise of “zero losses” and the absolute preservation of national lives. — Grégoire Chamayou, A Theory of the Drone, 606
