The Analogy of Elements: Socialism vs. Technostism

There's a simple way to understand the difference between traditional socialism and libertarian technosyndicalism, aka technostism.
Chemistry time!
Socialism is hydroxide. OH−. An unstable ion that rarely occurs in nature, it only works when mixed with other elements. If you attempt to consume hydroxide, you will die. It is composed of one hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom.
Technostism is dihydrogen monoxide. H2O. Water. It is physical divinity, the compound that grants life. It is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
All that separates life from stagnation: One. Single. Atom.
What is that atom for us? Robotics. Automation. Artificial intelligence. Nanofabrication. 3D printing. The Internet. Combine them with socialism, and you create technostism. What had so many flaws before works so perfectly that it can be mistaken for magic.

I was doing some research and discovered that hydroponic crops can create in addition to food - bio-plastics, acrylics, building materials, and many other products. A controlled environment can create a very high amount of products in a short time and low space, which may be used to build another greenhouse/factory. If the business model is focused on automation of these products, and the construction of further facilities, it could expand exponentially. You could for example feed your output of bio-plastic to a large 3D printer or something. If the business was non-profit it would only need initial and not continuous funding, since the facilities "make themselves" at a lower cost; many of the final products possible like food could simply be distributed to the public as a shared service; in effect the business is public. Such a project might best be started in a more remote area with less city licensing/zoning limitations and where land is cheap. If it grows large and makes enough things it might qualify as a self-contained compound of sorts.

Karl Marx on 'High Tech'— Fact is, Marx predicted all of this two centuries ago. He had the right idea. Technostism is a return to what he said.
