It might be a controversial take, sure, but the linked article/post makes a pretty thoughtful case for the benefits of having functional state capacity vs. outsourcing or just not having it

    This take of all government employees being bureaucrats is… oversimple at best. In much the same way that I don’t consider the military servicemembers to be bureaucrats.

      You’re right of course, this article specifically talks about civil servants (i.e. bureaucrats) and not other government employees like elected officials or military service members.
