The notion that socialism is inherently bureaucratic and capitalism is inherently less so, is pure cold war propaganda nonsense, provided of course we are fair and count all bureaucracy, whether governmental or corporate. 

God help us, surely the potential for capitalism to generate an enormous bureaucracy is laid bare by the current US! Let's take health care as an example. American history of capitalistic health care has generated an enormous, oppressive bureaucracy; and when that oppressive bureaucracy in controlled by health insurers rather than government, the people don't even have the ballot box as a way to control that bureaucracy.  I have no doubt that the overwhelming majority of Americans, given personal experience of Canada's government controlled "social" health bureaucracy versus America's company controlled "capitalist" bureaucracy, would prefer the socialist version...because there is less of it, it is identical for all, and we control the monster via our votes.
