Commenters here are getting confused. There's technocracy, the governance[1]. And Technocracy, the pseudo-cult movement[2]. They quickly evolved into different things with different ideologies. The article is mostly about the latter movement.

- Snow_Falls 6mo agoYou may want to read the usernames again, they were replying to themselves.
- tootie 6mo agoFuturism is the same. It's an appealing concept but the actual Futurist movement was basically just fascist.
- api 6mo agoThe Italian futurists went fascist. There were also Russian Cosmists who were IMO more interesting and didn’t seem fascist. They seemed more intellectual and heavily influenced science fiction. The Italian futurists were just on speed I think. On the fringe right today there’s people who invoke Russian Cosmism and fascism, which I don’t get because historically they were distinct movements. But the fringe right is extremely incoherent. Fascism itself is also ideologically incoherent, and in that case it’s because fascism tends to be explicitly anti-rational.
