When, as, and if the Populists get wind of this, there will be a major rebellion in the ranks. There is NO common good for humanity, only the scourge of the whip of scientific dictatorship. ? Patrick Wood, Editor.

In Technocracy Ascending Part 4, Dark Enlightenment, the Neoreaction(NRx) movement, and accelerationism were exposed as the ideological forces behind the technocrats in the Trump administration. This installment investigates how both Eastern and Western technocrats are creating high-tech utopian societies that supposedly advance the common good of all.

Howard Scott of Technocracy Inc. and his merry band of technocrats envisioned an efficiently run system of regional government incorporating a territorial expanse of countries as far south as Panama and north as Canada, known as the North American Technate. It would outlaw politicians and bureaucrats and instead favor rule by experts employing technology to manage all aspects of society, solving the complex problems of human governance. He described it as a system "based solely on scientific principles and incontrovertible scientific facts and can only be carried on along scientific lines." Constitutional and democratic governance would yield authority to a new class of technical men remaking the government into an automated system fueled by insatiable amounts of data collected about all people and social functions.

The political administration of our national affairs is deemed by Technocracy to be totally inadequate and incompetent, irrespective of which political racketeer does the administering. Politics and the financial racketeering of the Price System are blood brothers conceived in the ages of scarcity along with the oxcart, the sickle, the hoe, and the spade; and, like them, they have become as obsolete and must be consigned to historical antiquity."

Modern technocrats like Parag Khanna also believe that democracy is a relic of the past and what America (and the world) needs is "more technocracy—a lot more." In Technocracy in America: The Rise of the Info State, Khanna further states that:

The way to get there is ideally neither war nor revolution—nor a bout of tyranny—but to evolve America's political system in a more technocratic direction. Technocratic government is built around expert analysis and long-term planning rather than narrow-minded and short-term populist whims" (p. 7).

Khanna's long-term planning to arrive at technocratic governance began to accelerate in the 1970s with the Trilateral Commission's goal of developing a New International Economic Order. China's rise as an economic power and the shift toward globalization can be directly traced to Trilateral initiatives. In 1933, Harold Loeb, an original Technocracy Inc. devotee (who eventually formed his own Continental Committee on Technocracy), wrote in Life in a Technocracy that technocratic governance was the only solution to the world's problems. He believed it was inevitable and would emerge through a combined evolution slowly over time, and revolution, through one big final push when conditions were ripe. Given the current state, it seems as though America is now experiencing that final revolutionary push.

In this society of security, material abundance, equality and harmony, man would also have maximum leisure. Since "there is no virtue in human labor," work will be done "by the most automatic process that can be devised."
