I want to do a video for youtube about why I choose to follow Howard Scott's ideas instead of Marxist-Leninist ones. I think my main reason is because it's a higher stage of development but also because many people do not have any real political ideologies or coherent understanding of the world, which leads to them being easily swayed or manipulated on the issues. I think the working class should have civil rights, freedom from exploitation and landlordism, but I don't believe that the general proletariat is necessarily the best at addressing every issue in society. Especially more complex or specific issues like the climate. Here in America it is also very difficult to trust the masses because they have historically voted for egregious things or provided political support for them. People here have lost the ability to know when something is a fact or opinion, and rationalism would need to be restored and enforced before the masses could ever be trusted with political power.
What are some reasons you personally choose Technocracy over Socialism/Anarchism, etc.?
