Here, let me flog that dead horse for a minute:

"NAKED POWER is quicksilver, lost in a flash- a bank robber on the
run, hand on gun, shot down at the next corner. So power rushes to form,
which
endows power with legitimacy, defines the processes whereby it is acquired,
exercised, delegated, transferred. Hiding behind form, power acquires
stability.
Form is a structure of power but claims legitimacy as a map of reality.
Reality
is flux, while power insists on the permanence of forms; so form falls ever
more
at variance with the reality it claims truthfully to reflect. Power clings
to
form even after form's claim to truth has become manifest travesty. The
emperor
has no clothes."
