The funny thing is that Heinlein wrote Starship Troopers - the book that all the wanna be fascists and military buffs loved - and Stranger in a Strange Land - the book that all the hippies loved - back to back. Actually that's not even entirely accurate. He paused in the middle of Stranger to write Troopers so he effectively was writing them simultaneously.

Less glib answer: IWW's had a giant leap in membership since November, and priorities are in flux. Things I know IWW is active in off the top of my head: antifa (GDC locals), prison strikes/prisoner rights (IWOC), organizing in workplaces like Stardust.

Later in his career, Heinlein wrote a sci-fi story about a time traveller who goes back and has sex with his own mom. I think he really was a pervert.

Heinlein was a big perv but I bet he jacked off the hardest when he was writing Starship Troopers

Nah; Steven Brust, who is a socialist whose main character in his main series, Vlad Taltos, really does not give a poo poo and is generally annoyed by socialists (because they broke up his marriage lol)

ATP_Power posted:What is the thread's opinion on "The Disposessed" by Ursula K. Le Guin? It was probably my first introduction to any kind of radical political thought (I had some very cool elementary school teachers) and I haven't gone back to it in a long while. I'm not an anarcho-syndicalist myself, but I feel the author paints a fairly realistic portrait of such a society. The major conceit I find with it is they form this new society from a blank slate: new language, new planet etc., which we all know is impossible unless we start afresh... In space!

To clarify fit those not on the up and up about California red neck politics: everyone, literally everyone in this part of the county is either a straight up communist, a libertarian, a Mormon theocrat or a nihilist who gave up voting 40 years ago
