Organicist Technocracy and Political Philosophy

In an Organicist Technocracy, a Technocrat functions as the brain of a Polity--the source of Techne--to which it is vitally connected.  Thus, a Technocrat in this context is not the detached dehumanizer it is sometimes stereotyped as.  It thus functions primarily as setting a course of action for the Polity, i. e. all its parts, the primary goal of which is vitalistic, e. g. surviving, growing, etc.  So, essential to that functioning is effective organization, beginning with clear afferential and efferential communication.  Thus contingent are specific modes of structuring--Monarchy vs. Democracy, Capitalism vs. Socialism, etc.  In other words, some of the staples of established Political Philosophy are derivative in an Organicist Technocracy.
