Well, Max, aren't there socialist transhumans? We see a few each month
here on this list. And there's probably technocratic transhumans (who
may or may not be socialists) who want the government to strictly
control any and all nanotech?
Are you suggesting we be more specific when speaking of those
transhumanists who are at odds with our own political beliefs?
