Is Technocracy a political party?
No, it is not. Technocracy’s sole reason for being is to promote its social program for institution when the Price System can no longer operate in North America. To run candidates for political office to advocate adoption of the program would quickly defeat the organization’s whole purpose, for they would be unable to introduce any of the program’s features on a local basis because of the Continental scope of the program. Technocracy, by remaining entirely free from political entanglements, can promote its social program at the continental level without being restricted by the national or local boundaries of political considerations. This is not to say that Technocracy will not consider political action in the future if the need arises, but such action would be only in a referendum calling for the acceptance or rejection of Technocracy’s proposals. It is highly improbable that the program would be rejected in the face of badly deteriorated social circumstances that would likely prevail
