Techno-Socialism is an economically left, culturally progressive ideology found near the bottom left of the authoritarian left quadrant. He believes 
socialism can only be achieved through automation, robotics and emerging technology to allow everyone to live off the wealth produced by publicly owned machines. This ideology is convinced that any attempt to build socialism without automation will simply lead to state capitalism, so his solution is to remove human labor from the equation with robotics. A strong believer in progress for its own sake, techno-socialism supports rapid, unrestrained scientific progress to make the status quo obsolete.
He can be obsessed with freeing people from any need to work by giving their job to robots and often can't shut up about the latest scientific breakthrough. Some of his followers want an elected government to nationalize and automate the economy in order to give everyone a UBI and free goods. Others want automation to be controlled by cooperatives while some think robotized production should be administered by direct democracy at the grass roots community level.
Distinct from technocracy because techsoc doesn't want to build a dictatorship ruled by engineers and favors various forms of democracy. Transhumanism isn't the same as techno-socialism who wants to use technology to transform society without any interest in physically enhancing individuals. Techsoc is obsessed with extracting wealth from automation and equally distributing it but he has almost no interest in augmentation and other transhumanist ideas. 
FALGSC is different from techno-socialism whose ideas do not require impossible star trek machines.

- "Were that machine the property of all, every one would benefit by it. It would be an immense advantage to the community. All unintellectual labour, all monotonous, dull labour, all labour that deals with dreadful things, and involves unpleasant conditions, must be done by machinery. Machinery must work for us in coal mines, and do all sanitary services, and be the stoker of steamers, and clean the streets, and run messages on wet days, and do anything that is tedious or distressing."
