AndresseenHorowitz have funded some of the most destructive companies to come out of SiliconValley with an investment philosophy of "creative destruction" that mixes eugenics & predatory financing.

their support of Elon Musk isn't coincidental: his grandafather was the face of Canada's Technocratic Movement that sought to end democracy & install a fascist technocracy

Andreesseen & Horowitz are the Mussolini & Gentile of the 21st century.

The Techno-Optimist Manifesto

We are told that technology is on the brink of ruining everything. But we are being lied to, and the truth is so much better. Marc Andreessen presents his techno-optimist vision for the future.

this is a direct PDF link to Mussolini and Gentile's "The Doctrine of Fascism", published in 1932.

https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf

Andreessen & Horowitz' manifesto doesn't follow Mussolini & Gentile's word by word for one obvious reason: techbros want to destroy governments & nation-states.

governments are only for the employed, consumer, capital-less masses. not for them.

but read the 1932 doctrine & A&H's manifesto and they hit all the same themes; even the technological "supermen" part

here is an article about Elon Musk's maternal grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, and his very fascist, very racist, very anti-semitic ideology.

Handelman became an enemy of the state in Canada because his technocracy ideas were a thinly veiled APARTHEID ran by techbros and he was influential enough the government feared a coup.

USA wouldn't take him, so he moved his family to his utopia: SOUTH AFRICA

Elon Musk’s Anti-Semitic, Apartheid-Loving Grandfather

The billionaire has described his grandfather as a risk-taking adventurer. A closer read of history reveals something much darker.

So what exactly is a technocrat anyway?

What is a ‘technocrat’? And why are technocratic governments all the rage these days in Europe?

" “Technocracy makes one basic postulate: that the phenomena involved in the functional operation of a social mechanism are metrical”...

"Flashes of that mentality appear to have resurfaced on the West Coast of the US today in what the writer Evgeny Morozov has called technological “solutionism”. According to this worldview, technology has the answer to almost every problem and humans can best be analysed as collections of data points."

There are lessons to be learnt today from the ‘revolt of the engineers’ in the 1930s

"As originally conceived, there would be no democracy in the Technate — no elections, no parliaments — because, the #Technocrats claimed, even in democracies, questions of fundamental importance are never submitted to popular vote. Instead, there would be a single disciplined organization under one jurisdiction that would be responsible for the smooth functioning of society."

Technocracy promised Depression-weary Canadians an end to their hardship. But the offer came with a catch.

LAST THING because this manifesto demands a thorough antifascist academic rebuke for dragging along the faves of SparkNotes intellectuals: Friedrich "you're the fucking White Beast and i hatechu" Nietzsche & Adam "am a professor of philosophy & morals" Smith

read the PATRON SAINTS section of the A&H manifesto.

it's an eyebrow-raising mishmash of people that obfuscates the fascist tell; the most scandalous one being this name:

John Galt

ps: LOL Brad deLong

@blogdiva Struggling to see Greece as acual technocrat in that sense. Or any, really. Would hardly say they are relevant in Europe to begin.

Italy? Maybe, slightly. Definitely fascist. But... it's not like they haven't ever not been as a nation state. They literally invented it.

The Musk article was enlightening. Damn, he ain't even an Afrikaaner. He ain't actually African at all.

@monsoonrains he was born there though. i think his dad is. the EU article is from 2011. i added it to put perspective that this is not a one time event or movement. this has had a long history that goes hand-in-hand with the eugenics movement. to me, honestly, they are one and the same.

@blogdiva Birth doesn't really have much to do with where you're from though.

Although I suppose it does for some people.

@blogdiva I just finished reading that. It was quite a ride. Quite chilling that a man now in a decent position to destroy democracy had a grandpa who spent his life trying various schemes to destroy democracy. That technocrat stuff is WILD.
