Is Trump’s planned Annexation of Canada part of the grand scheme of the Technocracy Inc.? And the U.S. has covertly destabilized nations. With Canada, it’s being done in public 😠

Technocracy Inc. is an organization that advocates for a technocratic system of governance, where decision-making is led by technical experts and scientists rather than elected politicians.

The Technocracy movement was a social movement active in the United States and Canada in the 1930s which favored technocracy as a system of government over representative democracy and concomitant partisan politics. Historians associate the movement with engineer Howard Scott’s Technical Alliance and Technocracy Incorporated prior to the internal factionalism that dissolved the latter organization during the Second World War. Technocracy was ultimately overshadowed by other proposals for dealing with the crisis of the Great Depression. The technocracy movement proposed replacing partisan politicians and business people with scientists and engineers who had the technical expertise to manage the economy. The movement did not fully aspire to scientocracy.

The movement was committed to abstaining from all partisan politics and communist revolution. It gained strength in the 1930s. In 1940, due to opposition to the Second World War, it was banned in Canada. The ban was lifted in 1943 when it was apparent that “Technocracy Inc. was committed to the war effort, proposing a program of total conscription.” The movement continued to expand during the remainder of the war and new sections were formed in Ontario and the Maritime Provinces.

The Technocracy movement survived into the 21st century and as of 2013 was continuing to publish a newsletter, maintain a website, and hold member meetings.[5] The Technocracy, Inc. web site was later stating that it was under renovation, under new ownership, announcing a “Transition Plan 2016”, and an online meeting in April 2021. Smaller groups included the Technical Alliance, The New Machine, and the Utopian Society of America.

Is Technocracy good for North America?

Whether Technocracy Inc. would be “good” for the USA, Canada, or any other country depends on one’s perspective and values. Here are some points to consider:

Potential Benefits:

1. Expertise-Driven Decisions: A technocracy could lead to more informed and efficient decision-making, as policies would be designed and implemented by individuals with specialized knowledge in relevant fields.
2. Focus on Data and Science: Technocracy emphasizes evidence-based policies, which could lead to more rational and effective solutions to complex problems like climate change, healthcare, and infrastructure.
3. Reduced Partisanship: By removing political ideologies and partisanship from governance, a technocracy might reduce polarization and gridlock in decision-making processes.
4. Long-Term Planning: Technocrats might prioritize long-term societal and environmental sustainability over short-term political gains.

Potential Drawbacks:

1. Lack of Democratic Accountability: Technocracy removes direct democratic representation, which could lead to a disconnect between the government and the people. Citizens might feel disenfranchised if they have no say in who governs them.
2. Risk of Elitism: A technocratic system could concentrate power in the hands of a small, unelected elite, potentially leading to decisions that benefit a select few rather than the broader population.
3. Neglect of Social and Ethical Considerations: Technocrats might prioritize technical efficiency over social justice, cultural values, or ethical concerns, leading to policies that are technically sound but socially unpopular or harmful.
4. Resistance to Change: Technocratic systems might struggle to adapt to new ideas or innovations that challenge established expertise or paradigms.

Context for the USA and Canada:

• USA: The U.S. has a strong tradition of democratic governance and skepticism of centralized power. Implementing a technocratic system would likely face significant resistance from those who value democratic principles and individual freedoms.
• Canada: Canada also values democracy and has a more collectivist approach to governance compared to the U.S. While some aspects of technocracy might align with Canada’s emphasis on evidence-based policy, the lack of democratic accountability would likely be a major concern.

Conclusion:

Whether Technocracy Inc. would be good for the USA or Canada depends on how much weight one gives to efficiency and expertise versus democratic representation and accountability. While a technocracy might offer solutions to some modern challenges, it also raises significant concerns about governance, equity, and the role of citizens in decision-making. A hybrid approach that incorporates expert input while maintaining democratic oversight might be a more viable and acceptable solution for many.
