Bureaucracy

How do you usually think about bureaucracy in relation to civility, and law?

It is often impossible to practice the civility of intelligent frugality appropriately, primarily as a consequence of unjust bureaucratic interference.

How, if at all, have political, technical and/or bureaucratic practices prevented you from investing in civility in ways you would prefer?

In political positions, and in bureaucracies and companies and non-profit organisations, people in high status positions have often achieved very little indeed in terms of improving the world, however much adulation they may receive from colleagues and/or the media.

Yet working together to improve the world is an urgent necessity, even with obstacles placed in the way by self-serving bureaucrats.

 

Real democracy is in the public interest.  That is why all politicians, bureaucrats and citizens are meant to be trustworthy servants of democracy, all over the world.
