How the hell it’s even “more tech based than Lenin’s model”? Lenin was great advocate of technological progress and tried to build and draw to party every even semi eligible technical personnel he could find, he just had to work with completely backwards country where technical education was solely in the hands of bourgeoisie.
“Lenin’s model” moved from semi-feudalism to spaceflight in 40 years, despite 3 huge destructive wars no less.
I think they are silly enough to not realize that high tech 100 years ago is not what is high tech now. If you truly abandon materialism this does make sense.
This also reminds me of the popular 90’s liberal mantra about “knowledge based economy” (used to justify deindustrialisation), as if the economy wasn’t ALWAYS based on knowldge ever since people learned how to make fire and tools.

Lenin: “Communism = Soviet Power + Electrification of the Whole Country”
Western propaganda: “Lenin was against technology!”
