When you are an anarchist and following the procedures of the self-managed job/organism/association you are working.
Basically, the paper work that goes into structured anarchist or self-managed instances.

Maude : wow look at Prince the fake anarchist, following their fascist procedures and doing paper work !
Prince : I guess you could say I believe in anarcho-bureaucracy. Or simply that I believe anarchists should have some sort of structure or organization.

A heirarchy within an organisation which serves only to reward members by awarding token power, perks or responsibility based on attributes such as age or long service, rather than competency.
Although its name is derived from the award of rank within the Boy Scouts, the Boy Scout Bureaucracy is prevalent in many (usually amateur) groups and organisations, such as church groups, the WI, or any other situation which requires a committee or old age pensioners.

The tough kids always sit at the back of the bus due to the operation of a boy scout bureaucracy.
"Why do I have to clean out the fryers?"
"Because I said so, and I've got 3 stars on my badge and you've only got 2."
The new landlord of the pub wanted to install a jukebox, but the locals wouldn't allow it.
How come that kid always choses the music in the common room?
Dunno, he just does. Boy scout bureauocracy I guess.
"You can't sit there, that's Old Bert's seat."
"I can't see his name on it"
"Move or there'll be troube - he always sits there."

Getting bounced from one bureaucracy to another to another ad nauseum, with not one of them actually helping you at all.
I wanted to get a free COVID-19 test done on me and was initially told that this one bureaucracy could do it. After I arrived over there, they told me they couldn't help me at all and that I had to go to this other department. After arriving at the second department, I was told that they couldn't help me as well and that my best bet was to just go to Walgreens or CVS. I just got done setting up an appointment with Walgreens. Hopefully, Walgreens can help me out. This whole game of musical bureaucracies totally sucks ass!
