Technocracy

We want the government to be downsized but not at the hands of arch-Technocrats like Musk and Ramaswamy, who are intending to deconstruct and disrupt the federal government. This was the manta of historic Technocracy from the 1930s: inefficiency and cutting waste would result in abundance and prosperity. Trump stated, "I am pleased to announce the Great Elon Musk, working with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."

Time Magazine had a dim view of Technocracy in 1933. In 1932, Technocrats wrote a book, Roosevelt and Technocracy, petitioning Roosevelt to declare himself dictator to dismiss congress and summarily appoint Technocrats to run the county, top to bottom. He didn't take them up on it, but Technocracy flavored the New Deal. 

Measuring the ebb and flow of Technocrats in China's political structure over the years is instructive. However, this article misses the mark that Technocrats are not "a cohesive political force with a shared ideology and group identity." Yet, Technocrats have engineered every economic and social initiative in China since Deng Xiaoping, from the massive Belt and Road project to its social credit system.

Quit referring to China as the Chicoms, or Chinese Communists. I have argued in the past that China was converted into a Technocracy in the mid-70s in How The Trilateral Commission Converted China Into A Technocracy (2016), China Is The World’s First Technate, Leading Chinese Scholar Lists The Benefits Of Technocracy In China, Day 7: China Is A Technocracy, among others. Now this article has come to my attention, driving the nail in the coffin.
