Historian Robert Conquest is said to have proposed three laws of politics:
- Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
- Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.
- The behavior of any bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.
I can’t think of any counter examples to 2 and 3, can you?
