Technocracy, Amitai Etzioni, Communitarianism, Technocracy News, Patrick Wood

Leading communitarian Amitai Etzioni takes a shot at technocrats... article shared recently at Patrick Wood's website:  https://www.technocracy.news/

"Amitai Etzioni is the modern academic father of Communitarianism, which elevates the ‘common good’ over individual rights. It stands diametrically opposed to liberalism and libertarianism.
Etzioni does not grasp that Technocracy also preaches the same common good, except that it is Technocrats who decide what is good for the majority of society. Communitarianism was first used in 1841 by John Goodwin Barmby who led the Chartist movement; it referred to utopian socialists and those who were experimenting with communal lifestyles. Communitarianism is also used to describe authoritarian societies like Malaysia, Singapore and China.
Just as Communism has been a natural enemy of Technocracy since the 1930s, Communitarianism falls into the same camp and for similar reasons, ie, who gets to decide on the common good. ⁃ TN Editor" full article:  https://www.technocracy.news/leading-communitarian-takes-shot-at-technocrats/
