There are strong arguments to be made both for strong technocratic bureaus that make decisions, as well as for direct democracy where the people decide everything directly or through congress. You don’t want to have completely unaccountable bodies ruling society (called the deep state by its enemies) and you don’t want to have zero governing capacity either (what would liberals call this, Galt’s Gulch?) There’s a balance to be struck.
