       #Bureaucracy #History #CollectiveWest #stagnation #JiangXueqinDeath by Bureaucracy?As a young man I was drafted into state governance and I have loathed (state) bureaucracy ever since.Bureaucracy erases humanity and atrophies everything. Rules become dogma's where even reason itself is seen as dissent. Civilizations that are near their end develop bloated bureaucracies that suck the remaining lifeblood from society itself. This has held true since the times of the pyramids and clay tablets. Guess where we are now in the Collective West? Nobody on the left or right even denies anymore that bureaucracy is slowly killing us. The only thing that effectively counters bureaucracies is destroying the very host they live on. Without hosts parasites wither and die. Back in 1944 the Nazi armament minister Albert Speer came to the same conclusion, when he cheekily mentioned in a speech before bureaucrats how the allied bombing raids cut the notorious German bureaucracy. Predictive History doesn't see a way out of 'Death by Bureacracy". It is a long lecture, but well worth watching to get a deeper understanding of what we are dealing with today.   I am not as pessimistic as Jiang Xueqin. Civilizational bureaucracies have been successfully reformed in the past  (Byzantium comes to mind) - though these instances have been few and far between. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk_yhi3-prw
