Funny then that most every right wing government world-wide right now is attacking bueacrats, calling the systems 'bloated', 'useless', etc.

"Fascist regimes were mired in bureaucracy."

What kind of bureaucracy though? The apolitical, decentralized kind? Or the kind which has unlimited, full control from the head of state? These are in fact very different. The point I was making is Nazi's hate the idea of government departments which don't always have to answer to a president. Unelected officials, a common word used by fascists to refer to these apolitical departments, employed because people hate the idea of someone unelected having control over their lives... even though we do this constantly, and would be unreasonable to expect otherwise. After all, do you want demagogues to be elected to positions of immigration or taxation? Or hell, the central bank or the military?

"Not to mention that by this logic, anarchy is merely a branch of fascism because it rejects rule by unelected empty suits just as much as it does by dictators or mob rule."

I guarantee you Mr Milei is not listening to David Graeber and Noam Chomsky. You can tell the difference between who is making these critiques... I'll ask you do you believe Milei is closer to the far-right of Europe, or the far left, like an anarchist? I think you know truthfully.

I'm not calling you, or Milei, Nazi's. Hell, if anything it seems to me Milei is a NATO-loving, dollar-loving Jew with America's interests at heart. I'm just saying this sort of anti-bureaucratic thinking is very, very much what can lead to fascistic regimes taking over.
