[QUOTE="Rhazakna"] The alt-right is a pretty broad movement. Lots of them seem to have sympathy for a meritocratic ruling elite. Those are the people to try and sell technocracy to, not people in the center, and certainly not the left.Rhazakna

Who says i was trying to?

besides my economic prefs are based off biases and circumstance not my ideals. i generally don't mention economics because it has little to do with my agenda. the economy is something to be decided only after the technocratic government is in power and thus the proper experts can determine what is best for the country. i wouldn't support anyone who still affiliates with a party after coming to power, and i don't think many partied officials will be willing to give up their support network and delegate their jobs to experts.

i never meant that "experts" (bad term i know) would be able to solve all our problems, i simply meant that it would be much more efficient to have a fluid system which could be altered based on what people who have been in the economic field (of many different studies and opinions) feel might work given an economic situation. Of cource even among professionals there will be disagreements and debates and a certain amount of trial and error.

essentialy what i'm saying is cut out the middle man (parties and politicians) and let the people with knowledge in the field figure out the solution (much as they already are).

however i do concede that economic policy is easily the weakest link in the technocratic system.

[QUOTE="MakeMeaSammitch"]u want a single party like japan?

I would prefer a non-party highly authoritarion technocratic meritocracy (with a heavy emphasis on the technocracy).

Hopefully an extremely well funded public education system as well as the banning of any private educational system below the university level.

Also the technocratic system is very anti-old money.

why would terrorist target a marathon?

-Renegade

Thousands of people in a small area?

try using that pink thing jammed in your skull once and a while.

it was a sidewalk and they were maybe 50 people at most there.

Considering over 100 people were injured i'd say you are wrong.

I'm guessing it wasn't terrorists. If it was a terrorist, then way more than 3 people would've died. They don't mess around.

It was a relatively small bomb.

GOGOGOGURT

There were 4 total bombs. Only 2 went off.

They were positioned at different points near the finish line area.

Even more proves my hunch. 2 bombs causing little fatalities and exlosion, and other two failed to go off. A terrorist would not make a mistake like that.

And the bombs would be bigger. And possibly TNT based with shrapnel. Maximum casualties and deaths.

I think this is just a nutjob.

Do you even know what the word "terrorist" means?

i'm guessing you don't.
