Is technocracy a viable form of government for the 21st century or is it simply a petit-bougoisie ideology of the yellow socialist (fascism being another) variety?

Opinions?

>> No.1805565

Technocracy is dumb imo

however it's also dumb to think of it as a 'petit-bourgeois ideology of the yellow socialist variety' (or to compare it to fascism in this regard)

so i guess let's all just jerk each other off or something

How many words you got to write on this, OP?

I have a few.

THe original movement definitely had some fascist undertones, this has been observed time and time again. It is based in the yellow socialism of the early 20th century, as are most anti-Marxist forms of socialism.

I referred to it as petit-bourgeoisie because it protects the interests of the petit-bougiousie. Most contemporary engineers earn enough to purchase some capital and are thus elevated to the position of petit-bourgeosie status.

This is pretty much fact, in the Western world at least.

There was also quite a bit of nationalism in the early movement as well (see pic),

I think a disconnection from nature through technocratic biogenetics is the only way for humanity to establish an ideological state which will actually work.

Why is a form of government necessary for human advancement?

Are you really that dim that you think such things can only be achieved by governments RUN by engineers?

i'm not denying that the individual elements of your description are wrong

more that the viewpoint or the axiomatic framework or the weltanschauung from which that description comes is wrong, or not a particularly good way in which to evaluate things

I don't have the time to write an extensive Marxist analysis of technocracy.

This thread was supposed to be more of a survey than a debate.

Plenty have been written already however.

You need only to look them up.
