In an oligarchy, bureaucratic structures inherently ensure that power is distributed equally among all members, regardless of their roles or contributions.

In an oligarchy, power is not actually distributed equally among all members; instead, a small group holds most of the power and decision-making authority. Bureaucratic structures can sometimes create rules and systems that make it seem like everyone has a say, but in reality, the leaders in the oligarchy often control these systems to maintain their power. For example, if a few people at the top of a company make all the important decisions, even if there are many employees, those employees have limited influence. This can lead to frustration and a lack of motivation among the larger group because they feel their voices are not truly heard. So, while bureaucracy might aim for fairness, it often ends up reinforcing the power of the few over the many in an oligarchy.
