Bureaucracy Handbreak

June 26, 2021

By NZB3

Bureaucracy is an egregore all of its own. Whatever it’s task de facto, it metastasizes to grow and preserve its primary cause: self-preservation.
 
This is the reason successive governments re-brand their departments. In other words, all human action that has been politicised (ministerially departmentalised by statism) cannot be commanded or summoned only destroyed and replaced.
 
When there’s a new logo or HQ or name or CEO or ‘philosophy’ or structure in government it’s not due to some amazing new breakthrough in the science of Industrial Organisation economics. It is simply that each new government must destroy the superstructure of the government that came before it and replace it with its own. The power must cease to flow to the previous regime and, if possible, begin to flow to the new one.
 
This also explains why perfectly good industries or laws or institutions or experts will be wiped out. Any given government would drive a bus full of children off a cliff rather than let someone else be the driver. Control is secondary but it is the making sure nobody else has control is the primary.
