Before you wrote all these, I hadn't thought about bureaucracy in these ways (although I've never been a fan of it). I agree that the power over / power under dynamic doesn't really work. I kind of feel like the modern world is stuck on a kind of freedom that doesn't really exist, and democracy is just as ugly as lots of other options.
Definitely going to be thinking about bureaucracy in new ways from not on.
