One thing that both techno-capitalists and techno-commies have in common is that they will absolutely destroy the world today with the assumption that a visionary humanitarian warrior-scientist will arise and fix everything tomorrow.

The belief doesn't arrange itself along a left-right scale. It's mostly a self-serving belief held by wealthy upper-middle class professionals who insist that the WeWorks and Ubers (that they work for or invest in) are where these magical people will come from. It's the material philosophy of people who have never missed a meal unless they were on a diet.
