The behavior of Biden's CDC re:covid shows that the administrative state is just as interested in protecting capital. And that's not getting into BLM with natural resource extraction, etc. These agencies may have been created for certain reasons but since Carter at least the entire administrative state has been a revolving door for capital to plant their lackeys in order to get regulatory outcomes that favor them.
At the end of the day, we live under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Any administrative arm created by that dictatorship serves their interests. Some of them may have been originally created from a more long-term outlook on those interests that can look prole-friendly on the surface (i.e. the NLRB), but it all serves the same ruling class.
