I'd call them technocrats, and yea, they're more insidious. I disagree with Mr. Sanders on a lot of points of policy and philosophy of how (and if) the state should function, but I don't find much wrong with his core attention to mutual aid. Technocrats on the other hand seem to be an almost mechanical sort of evil, complete with Malthusian agenda.

Just as mechanization distorted the value of capital in the land+capital+labor+entrepreneurship/management = the economy equation to create 19th century Capitalism, and labor organizing distorted the value of labor to bring Socialism, so to are advanced data systems  now tied into surveillance grids distorting the equation in favor of entrepreneurship/management bringing Technocracy.

At the end of the day a harmonious balance between the different resources drives a just and prosperous society. When this is disrupted, especially abruptly, disharmony gets pretty wild.
