Symbol of Technocracy

Technocracy is extremely easy to draw:

  3. Add the eyes and done!

Stylistic Notes

  • Usually depicted as more intelligent than other ideologies and with deep knowledge of various scientific fields.
  • While not explicitly technologically progressive, he often associates with pro-technology ideologies and enjoys sharing his scientific knowledge with them.
  • While not particularly anti-capitalist, can be critical of capitalism for giving the wealthy power as opposed to the most skilled.

Relationships

Friends

  • Syndicalism / Anarcho-Syndicalism / National Syndicalism - Profession-run industry gang!
  • File:Soc.png Socialism - We've grown apart somewhat, and are not as close as we once were, but you're still a friend. I like your planned economies.
  • Socialist Transhumanism - I am usually you and you are usually me
  • Combatocracy - You also support leadership based on skill, even if our perspectives are different.
  • Transhumanism - My more technologically advanced friend and lab-mate. I built his first augments, by the way!
  • Cyberocracy - My dearest son, goes a bit extreme but still a genius.
  • Noocracy - My father, who taught me from a young age. We disagree when it comes to who exactly is the wisest, though.
  • Meritocracy - He has talent, and he has many achievements and similar views.
  • Eco-Authoritarianism - Like me but green!
  • Cosmicism - You and me are two peas in a pod when it comes to our love for Philosophy and looking down at common people.
  • Cameralism - "Science of the state"? That definitely sounds great.

Frenemies

  • Capitalism - You're not the worst ideology, but you put much more importance on wealth and materialism as opposed to promoting a true meritocracy.
  • Monarchism - You do agree with me that the dumb public shouldn't have power, but... really? I don't think you're qualified either.
  • Futurism - I appreciate the sentiment, but you're too crazy to be running a country.
  • Aristocracy - My grandfather, who first started the path that led to my ideals, but is definitely not qualified to rule.
  • Technoliberalism - One of my children, but do I have a reason to have a child with a failure?

Enemies

  • Liberalism - Democracy is a flawed system! Your average citizen has no consensus on the political world.
  • Kakistocracy - Are you insane? Why on Earth would you want a society ruled by idiots?!
  •  Neoluddism - He said WHAT about the industrial revolution?
  • Democracy - Why is Kakistocracy here twice?
