RE DK POST WITNESSING HISTORY

"...Modern society can't exist without powerful bureaucracies that do their best (and never without some failures) to administer impartial rules.  They are, literally, the price of civilization.  Yet at the same time, they inevitably provoke negative reactions from much of the human race, particularly when young.  In college I learned about a parallel youth rebellion against the bureaucracy of the French Third Republic from Stanley Hoffmann, and such a rebellion eventually brought down Communism in the Soviet Union.  The whole Trump movement is also a rebellion against a bureaucracy, the "Deep State," which economic interests have resented for  the better part of a century...."

"...Modern society can't exist without powerful bureaucracies..." DK

This is at best only very partially true. These, most of them in fact, can be fatally weakened by political outcomes, spoils systems, coups, regional multistate entities like EU NAFTA WTO, etc, gutted, hollowed out, neutered, etc.

Then a rejuvenated version can be reborn in the next electoral cycle. They are not inherently powerful in our system.

There are only a very few exceptions among American bureaucracies.

The term Deep State is vague, and has multiple inconsistent referents. 

Just as an example of the confusion, one concept of "the" deep state is the LIEO itself, a partly clandestine globalist state within states of the West, comprised of a concatenation of bureaucracies, organizations, and business entities, and even a secret (Rhodes) society,  with a shared ideology, that it would be hard to claim that "...economic interests have resented for  the better part of a century..." since they themselves have been its main and intended beneficiaries.
