The new world order:Global Technocracy

From the time immemorial the persons in power have been pushing the idea of what they call the New World Order; basically a system made for the advancement of human civilization as a whole. So people on political spectrum are discussing what this new world order is gonna look like. Is it gonna be a capitalist world where they are gonna steal all the fruits of middle-class working man, by exploiting us treating us like a slave; or is it gonna be a total communist system. Well it turns out the new world order is going to be what is termed as 'Technocracy'.The term 'technocracy' is not popular but is a long discussed idea, quite a powerful one actually.

To understand this term in a simple way,basically just imagine getting rid of individual liberty under various pretext such as saving the environment, putting end to climate change, saving wild-lives, economic efficiency, rectifying the use of resources and things like that. So various pretexts are used but the common thread that runs through them all is that this system is going to get rid of representative government, congress, parliament, house-of-commons,kings, queens, monarchs, and national alliances. Instead we are going to be ruled by technocrats:scientists and engineers, basically the Elites.We can think of it as a scientific dictatorship or at least pseudo-scientific dictatorship. Actually this term has been for about a century.

William Henry Smyth, a California engineer, is usually credited with inventing the word 'technocracy' in 1919 to describe ".In 1932, the head of Colombia university, Nicholas Murray Butler announced the idea of technocracy as his radical university was already filled with communists and capitalist ,Nazis and varieties of people with different ideologies. So when the idea of technocracy was first visioned there was quite a scandal considering that the idea came from the world's greatest capitalist super-power.But technocrats did not give it that easy as they formed magazine of its name and began make this idea known.So they described technocracy as the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of entire social mechanisms to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population. So basically we get rid of money, private property, market prices and value. and you have a new system where accounting unit will be in terms of energy and resources: a resource based economy. So the scientists and experts in different field decide what should be produces, how they should be produced, how to supply and how they are to be consumed and of course recycling. And people would be allocated to the position where the Elites think we best fit. So this process has resemblance to the central government practiced in Soviet Union and People's republic of China, and it has been a failure wherever it has been tried. But as we move toward the post-pandemic life, they say they have big practical datas and they will make it work this time.
