> For Andreessen... you’re either a techno-optimist who won’t question the faith, or you’re one of their enemies: the Communist boogeymen,

After complaining about this extremist point of view, the author goes on to compare tech optimism with fascism. Equally droll.

Andreesen favorably quotes Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, one of the authors of the literal fascist manifesto. So sure, that doesn't mean Andreesen is a fascist, necessarily, I guess. But the comparison is neither spurious nor preposterous given that context.
