Roszak notes that technocracy is not generally conceived in our advanced industrialized societies as a political phenomenon

Roszak notes that technocracy is not generally conceived in our advanced industrialized societies as a political phenomenon. you cannot challenge the Kim family because they are gods and doing so would be treason and you cannot challenge a specialist because his word is law and doing so would go against science and reason. It is important to remind ourselves that the Middle East wars were waged for an access to oil and economic prosperity; that the Siberian gulags were built to punish those who wouldn’t conform to the social structure of the Soviet Union and threatened its efficiency; that slavery was justified by the pseudo-science of expert biologists, that the Holocaust was the literal industrial and efficient planning of mass murder. But when it comes to finding a culprit, we blame capitalist greed, communist alienation or fascist hate mongering, and technocracy gets off the hook.
