Valid.
But I suspect it also has something to do with the decline in relative power of elected leaders, as the bureaucracy has grown ever-more-powerful.
I understand in the late-stage Soviet Union, anyone with half a brain and any initiative went into the KGB, CPSU or military; because they were the only institutions with real power.
Only nitwits and nonentities managed industrial firms, conducted scientific research, or did anything else remotely productive.
Now in Soviet Australia, bank borrows you, and public services servants.
