Anarchism in a police state

Description

Epithelia is the lining of the tissues in our bodies. Cancers usually arise from these rapidly dividing cells when mutations occur.

Although its a funny looking cartoon it pretty much represents what cancer is.
In an organism everything is under control. Cells proliferate or die according to the body's needs and none of them are independent. A cancer cell ignores the orders of the body and starts behaving like a single cell organism - looking after itself only. And so it divides and divides, forming a tumor.

In the end a cancer is what happens when the body fails to maintain its dictatorship over the cells that compose it. Its individuality versus group force. Anarchy versus order.

If cancer is anarchy what is something like a shoggoth or even The Thing at all?
