If you really want to see who turned on the lathe:
This Marshall Brain guy guy has some weird politics but his post 9/11 Manna story is seriously prophetic (just ignore the cringe characters). I read it long before I was interested in truly radical left politics, a long time ago. As a Silicon valley insider that didn't get his bag and retreated to university work he seems to have had real insight.
His solution was weird though, since he's politically incoherent but seems class conscious. "what if we just do Gult's Gulch but it's techno libertarian socialist and we just eventually supplant the decaying capitalist states while they are genociding the working class."
