"Personnel Is Policy" Means Democracy Is Dying

The article from Mises.org discusses the implications of personnel policies on democracy, particularly focusing on how these policies reflect and contribute to the decline of democratic values. It argues that modern personnel policies, which often prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over merit, are indicative of a broader shift away from traditional democratic principles. The piece critiques the implementation of such policies in various sectors, including government and education, suggesting that they foster a culture of conformity and suppress free speech and individual merit. It posits that these policies, by enforcing ideological uniformity, undermine the essence of democracy which thrives on diversity of thought, open debate, and the selection of individuals based on competence rather than adherence to specific political or social ideologies. The article warns that this trend could lead to a society where democratic governance is replaced by bureaucratic control, diminishing personal freedoms and the democratic process itself.
