 | | According to his terminology, bureaucracy is part of legal domination. | | | However, he also emphasized that bureaucracy becomes inefficient when a decision must be adopted to an individual case. | | | If, however, the state owns the means of production itself, the state bureaucracy can become much more powerful, and act as a ruling class or power elite. |

| | The Bureaucracy |
| | However, the power of the bureaucracy is a function not of its size but of the degree to which appointed officials have discretionary authority: the ability to choose courses of action and to make policies not spelled out in advance by laws. | | | Finally, America's adversary culture means that the actions of bureaucrats are often fought in court. | | | The Constitution makes little mention of the bureaucracy, other than to give the president power to appoint various sorts of officials. |

| | At least as far as its origins and its social-historical function are concerned, this bureaucracy can be understood in terms of the categories of classical Marxism. | | | Trotsky was opposed to the bad policies of the bureaucracy and to the excesses of its power. | | | We must note that this bureaucracy has effectively shattered the traditional categories of Marxism. |

| | He counterposes, for example, a quotation from Trotsky in the early stages of the degeneration of the bureaucracy and the expulsion of the Left Opposition, when he argued for the reform of the soviet state, and incidentally, also for the reform of the Bolshevik Party which controlled the state. | | | The state by its very nature is composed of bureaucracy, officers, generals, heads of police etc. But these do not constitute a class; they are the instrument of a class even if they may be in antagonism to that class. | | | The bureaucracy owns the state, the state owns the means of production, therefore the bureaucracy is a class. |

| | However, because of the shortcomings that have in practice afflicted large administrative structures, the terms bureaucracy and bureaucrat in popular usage usually carry a suggestion of disapproval and imply incompetence, a narrow outlook, duplication of effort, and application of a rigid rule without due consideration of specific cases. | | | The power of permanent and nonelective officials to apply and even initiate measures of control over national administration and economy has made the bureaucracy central to the life of the state; critics object that it is largely impervious to control by the people or their elected representatives. | | | Bureaucracy existed in imperial Rome and China and in the national monarchies, but in modern states complex industrial and social legislation has called forth a vast growth of administrative functions of government. |
