This philosophy can be distinguished from all other presently-existing forms of socialism in two key respects:

1. While it concurs with the communists that advanced industrial capitalism is creating the conditions which are ripe for its own destruction, it asserts that advanced molecular nanotechnology will be a giant step forward in creating conditions ripe for socialism to take root.
2. It argues for a critical appraisal - not a dismissal - of the potential for "transhumanist" science and technologies to enhance the human condition - and in particular to enhance levels of compassion, solidarity and social cohesion.
