who said that "small" means non- or anti-technological? for me, a primary merit of approaches like those advocated by kropotkin, bookchin, and others is that they show how it might be possible to achieve technological advances *and* advances in the social realm simultaneously -- to use technologies to make decentralized production and consumption more efficient and environmentally friendly, less dangerous and labor-intensive, etc. technology per se doesn't have to be antithetical to human values. on the contrary.
