READ LOOKING BACKWARDS
t. Bellamy Gang
Trotskyist here
so a reactionary empire which made only a few contributions to western thought compared to its predecessors and successors?
oh yeah, vonnegut also wrote a short story called Harrison bergeron that eviscerates identity politics and is a dystopia run by people who post on tumblr
I tried to read it, but I realized I really hate Asimov's writing style.
You realize that that story is a reactionary strawman of socialism frequently cited by right-wingers and fascists against left-wingers right? We read that work in school here in America alongside all sorts of other “commies r bad, mm okay?” works. They should all be forced to read Lenin’s “A Liberal Professor on Equality” at gunpoint
the ussr was reactionary?
not entirely but I think it's pretty difficult to prove that they weren't compared to the Athenians, Gauls, Anglos, and Holy Romans.
Vonnegut was a soc dem, his most famous book called slaughter house five is semi autobiographical as it talks about the time in real life he was captured by the nazis in ww2 and experienced the bombing of Dresden.
aka fascist
well i guess i know why he would write harrison bergeron now
