Crossing the Iron Law of Bureaucracy with the Iron Lawn of Oligarchy

The Iron Law of Oligarchy. Proposed by Robert Michels

Michels's theory states that all complex organizations, regardless of how democratic they are when started, eventually develop into oligarchies. Michels observed that since no sufficiently large and complex organization can function purely as a direct democracy, power within an organization will always get delegated to individuals within that group, elected or otherwise.

The Iron Law of Bureaucracy proposed by John Pournelle.

In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.
