    Iain Banks Ken MacLeod Ada Palmer Cory Doctorow Kim Stanley Robinson Norman Spinrad Ursula K LeGuin ... this is embarrassing (to the author) I could probably name 50 or more novels exploring non-capitalist/non-feudalist futures, without breaking a sweat and I'm not even a leftyhttps://twitter.com/kendrictonn/status/1495461804327129088 …

        2/ absolutely true ...and not just of fiction. I can go toe-to-toe with pretty much anyone and pass the Ideological Turing test to show that I understand their arguments, and almost no one outside of my tribe has any clue what we believe.https://twitter.com/PolybiusChamp/status/1495464792240312320 …

        Frankly right/libertarian leaning people expose themselves to much more content that they don’t naturally agree with than do left leaning people. Its always been bad, but now its tribal. I could debate the left side of most issues with more authority than most leftists.

        Scifi yes, but what about fantasy? I can't really think of any non-feudal, non-oligarchical, non-clan systems of political government in any non-contemporary fantasy settings.

        2/ Fantasy is inherently historical, so it's almost always going to have historical social structures...but it often criticizes them.

        If you're not coming up with novel ways for humans to organize themselves, what's the point of writing SF?

        Iain Banks pretty much got it spot on what a pampered post capitalist existence does to humans. Ever notice how the only interesting ppl in the culture are either misfits, psychopaths or outsiders?

        Das Kapital was a good attempt, sucks towards the end though.
