That's another way of saying you don't think there should be reforms. It won't happen.

In the past you had events that reshaped and wiped away the buildup of bureaucracy. Kind of like a refactor. These events have been war or revolutions.

I think its worth thinking about things as a system that we can periodically refresh, ditch the old and start from scratch. It's not healthy to just keep adding layers without a good mechanism to remove them

Because the people's representatives will get in the way? The pesky checks and balances of democracy?
