Stafford Beer? Yes.

Yes (mostly). He does a really good job at identifying why organizations of any origin (governmental, private) can become oppressive, inflexible, and morph from existing to meet specific goals to existing to perpetuate their own existence. More broadly, he has great theories on how to look at, analyze, and help change organizations to be more egalitarian and effective at existing in an environment that is too complex for them to understand wholly and therefore require high-variety responses grounded in more horizontal organization between constituent parts, bottom-up information gathering style and effective iterative decisionmaking
