Now look I know those gas chambers and incinerators seem like the issue, but we need to appreciate the marxist interpretation of how to apply them. Only luddites want them sabotaged before construction is complete, Technology enhances our abilities and this is a good thing we must remember that the relations we have to the means of extermination are the true cause of- [dead].
isn't op's point precisely that it's a conditionally good thing?
no it isn't, in distinguishing the technology from "its employment by capital" it argues from the implicit default of technology being an inherent good.
he's implying it could be useful (and as such, good) if it weren't for the capitalist motive behind it, or the capitalist system it's set within. those are literally conditions
then marx was wrong i guess. or since "it" could mean anything what you said broadly aligns with what i said.
