Meritocracy or authoritarianism
[[Stuart Chase]], an early member of the [[Technical Alliance]], was also an ardent [[socialist]]. Alexander Bogdanov, who advocated a system called ''Tektology'' which bears a marked resemblance to ''technocracy'', was a socialist as well.

===Meritocracy or authoritarianism===
Some advocates of ''technocracy'' uphold the system as a meritocracy.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=I-k0hgtaiCcC&pg=PA3 Technocracy at Work]</ref> For elected officials, this can hold true as the voting populace would have actively made that choice and presumably a candidate's engineering or other specialization will be discussed in open debate.
But for unelected bureaucrats of a technocratic nature, meritocracy itself is undermined, and any technocratic merit will be superceded by the quagmire that the citizens are being arbitrarily dictated to.
