I hate it for it's content. I wouldn't describe it as childish, just disgusting.

It's audience is for the teenager interested in combat. A soldier who's seen action would take one look at it and cringe.

Happy to see all you Trumpsters wasting your time online.

I'm just weary of the /pol/ threads. "Oh my god my sides" wasn't the best image to use. Is OP looking for a list of the best women in literature? We've made those. Aren't they in the sticky?

That's a freebie. Type anything. "8"'ll do it

And yes, read Invisible Man along with The Dispossessed. It gets around to anarchism.

Capitalism causes corruption at every level.
>capitalists are evil
The people are, like yourself, largely naive. No I don't want another Robespierre or Lenin. I want people like you to take your head out of the sand

>things would be totally okay if we just didn't have money
What has REAL value in the world? Food, energy, resources and the labour it take to work them. Now, why money? I know the historical roots of it, but why do we need it so bad now?

There needs to be more fiction in this genre.

Does /lit/ reads Le Guin? I just read The Dispossessed and I liked it a lot. I thought it was more thought out and subtler than most SF (but as subtle as you can be while you're writing what is basically the anarchist Atlas Shrugged) in how it presented an ambiguous anarchist society that seemed like it could actually exist with faults and problems.

I am reading The Left Hand of Darkness now and I'm really liking it.

We tend not to like sci-fi, and then there's that whole fascist agenda which alienates more.

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin?

I can't think of anything fiction that's specifically about an atheist, aside from good science fiction.
I hear this book is about anarchists, so no doubt atheist.

Melville thought his Moby Dick was "wicked" for its suggestions.
