"The question is not: technology, are you for it or against it? It is: what kind of technology are you for? E. F. Schumacher and all that."
That would be the E.F. Schumacher who was chief economic advisor to the National Coal Board 1950-1970, when deaths from the application of his 'intermediate technology' there were running at twenty a year. ( http://www.dmm.org.uk/names/index_19.htm )
The same E.F. Schumacher who wanted to stop technology transfer to the Third World, and limit them to 'intermediate' (code for outdated) technology.
Pointedly, Africa, due to its political subservience to the West is largely prohibited from applying chemical fertilisers and pesticides to its crops, and subsequently has low yields, under conditions attached to aid. By contrast, India and East Asia has increased its yields by application of the 'Green Revolution'.
The question which technologies are you for or against is absurd. Technology is not political, its application is. The question of whether to use a pulley or a lever has no political consequences. The social relations between the users and the owners of the levers and pulleys do.
So for example, genetic engineering can be used to increase profits in the US, or to promote socialist production in Cuba, thanks to the The Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology ( http://gndp.cigb.edu.cu/gndppolicy.htm )
