Yes, as it advocates for a planned society.

Is societal planning all you need for a left wing ideology?
Mason Davis
No, because it operates upon a strict meritocratic hierarchy with enforced inequalities, a hierarchy suborned explicitly to the ruling technocrat elite.

You could argue that every Marxist-Leninist or Dengist country ever was or is a technocracy.
Christian Hill
If and only if leftist policy produces the maximally optimal, maximally cost effective, and maximally enduring solution to society's problems in the judgment of the educated citizenry of the technocratic state will left wing politics persist.
The premise of technocracy is that politics is a perfectible science with discoverable laws. Whatever those laws produce is what technocracy is.
We have seen that democracies tend to be more responsive to change and better able to weather regime change, however authoritarian regimes undoubtedly cut through red tape.
Mixtures of pre-programmed policy based upon conditions present in society is what I envision would be produced given historical data.
Democracy approaching socialism when things are good, decisions are easy, and there is plenty, time limited tyranny approaching fascism when in times of war, strife, famine, etc.
Just like now.

if engineers and scientist made the same pay as non-educated laborers then they are not technocratic.

The majority of the Soviet politburo were engineers. Likewise for China.

I can assure you that in China engineers and scientists do not get paid the same wage as sweatshop workers.
