Good point, Frances.  Again, this is at the heart of Ellul's thinking.
The question is, how does this relate to Marx's thinking?  If modes of
production (technologies) are the primary determinant of social
relations, what difference does it make who nominally owns those
technologies, the distribution of social power will be the same.
