Has anybody here watched Adam Curtis' Pandora's Box?
I didn't know much about the USSR before, and never realized that it was in fact a technocracy... It reminded me of all those threads about the Technocratic Republic of /sci/.

So tell me, /sci/borgs, in what way would the TR/S/ differ from the USSR to assure it's success?

WHY THE FUCK ISN'T EVERY GOVERNMENT LIKE THIS?!

The USSR was not an actual technocracy, although it was (to some extent) internally
presented as such to make it more palatable for
the working masses. The actual governance was
not based on the views of the experts as the country
was ran by the inner circle of the communist
party according to their preferences.

Learn your history from multiple sources, not
just one documentary.

Forgot to add that whether or not the country is
governed according to the views of the experts
does not mean choosing one economical model
over another. Optimally a technocratic state would
change how much it participated in controlling
certain aspects of economy according to changing
variables.
