Soviet planning’s first draft celebrated social engineering with engineers in charge

Evidence

In his book, Pollock also reported on the first draft of a five-year plan in 1927, and quoted a passage from it mentioning the art of the social engineer, whose vocation is to restructure the whole basis of society'. He also noted that, of the twenty-four leading members of the central office of Gosplan in the USSR, thirteen were engineers. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 246</cite> (#corroborates`, via linked claim)
