that’s amazing!

i wonder when the “progressives” became reactionaries?

during lenin’s time technology was considered positively.

mao i remember reading long ago wanted all technology, so that humans were relieved of physical work.

but sometime before ayn rand wrote “the new left, the anti-industrial revolution” (essays of the early 1960’s),

the left became reactionaries.

Nuclear technology, be it weapons or power plants really seems to have driven the left over the edge.
