Trotsky quote on Technocracy - Politics Forum.org | PoFo

Wandering the information superhighway, he came upon the last refuge of civilization, PoFo, the only forum on the internet ...

The solving of mankind’s problems and abolition of government via technological solutions alone.

"'Technocracy' can come true only under communism, when the dead hands of private property rights and private profits are lifted from your industrial system. The most daring proposals of the Hoover commission on standardization and rationalization will seem childish compared to the new possibilities let loose by American communism.

"National industry will be organized along the line of the conveyor belt in your modern continuous-production automotive factories. Scientific planning can be lifted out of the individual factory and applied to your entire economic system. The results will be stupendous."

Is this true ?

Yes. In fact, from my knowledge, Technocracy - or something very similar to Technocracy - was also created independently in the former Soviet Union. It was said to be the Russian's ultimate idea of Communism. I read this in previous topics in this forum, or the www.technocracy.ca forums.

Technocracy would quickest come true in a Communist society. However it would also easily come about in a depression period under a Capitalist society. Either one works for us Technocrats :).
