Yes I agree the technocracy solution is questionable mainly because of the failure to make a distinction between policy and technical decisions.  It appears TZM assumes that all solutions are only of a technical nature and consequently takes the view its just a simple matter of feeding inputs into a computer until it comes up with the best results scientifically.  Such a decision making process seems to leave to chance what precise information is fed into a computer and who actually feeds the information into a computer.These problems and issues can only be obviated through the adoption of a policy which sets out a criteria that’s acceptable to the community as a whole.  This in turn implies direct participatory democracy needs to be in place to establish what criteria is appropriate to a specific set of circumstances and conditions.Regarding PJ’s authoritarian attitude towards the direction of the movement the latest gaff he’s made is to suggest the possibility of setting up a “paralell government” during the transistion and not entirely clarifiying what he actually means by this term.   Such off the cuff remarks – given his position has founder of TZM – will lead to further confusion and also illustrate that PJ may well have a considerable amount of knowledge at his finger tips but is lacking a basic understanding on the revolutionary process of social evolution.  For the transistion and the next stage in social evolution, wont require a government of any nature but an administration to ensure we have the resources to produce and distribute human needs.
