40. Who defined bureaucracy as a "state mystifying institution"? (GUJARAT SET 2016 PAPER III)
The term "state mystifying institution" in relation to bureaucracy is often attributed to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. While they did not use this exact phrase, their writings suggest a critical view of bureaucracy as part of the state apparatus that serves to mystify or obscure the true nature of the state's functions and its relationship to class interests.
Marx and Engels argued that the state, including its bureaucratic institutions, serves the interests of the ruling class and helps maintain the status quo by masking the underlying economic and social relations of capitalist society. They believed that the state, through its bureaucratic apparatus, creates a facade of neutrality and impartiality, while in reality, it acts in the interests of the bourgeoisie to uphold capitalist exploitation.
In this sense, the term "state mystifying institution" can be seen as a shorthand for Marx and Engels' critique of bureaucracy as a mechanism through which the ruling class maintains its power and perpetuates the illusion of a fair and just society.
