      It's not to say that all problems are inherently difficult to solve and require dramatic compromises that leave no good options, etc. But it IS a focus on the fact that those problems exist, and she sets up scenarios where it's really laid bare.

      To Noah's point here, though - I think it's correct to assess this as being counterrevolutionary; I think it's just a fairly strong counterrevolutionary case.

      It's like how if the Matter of Seggri were the only thing she ever wrote about gender she'd come off as an MRA

      I do think it's echoed in other parts of her work as I say, though it's not her *only* take on the subject at all. and she changes over time too.

      Replying to @nberlat @arthur_affect and

      I’d agree with that. She certainly never says “never act,” but “be cautious about it” is pretty consistent. I call her anti-utopian, by which I don’t mean she’s against “the better” or even “the good” but rather “the perfect.” Folks do monstrous stuff for the perfect.

      right...but I think in a cold war context that kind of rhetoric is difficult to separate from anticommunism, right? like, "the problem with communism is the desire for a perfect utopia" is pretty standard liberal anticommunist rhetoric of the time.

      Replying to @nberlat @arthur_affect and

      It’s also a standard anarchist critique of driving the revolution from the position of a dictator. Reading her via Luxemburg may be more useful (her anti-capitalism is as consistent as her anti-utopianism, though reading it as liberalism is also pretty common).

      well, re ambiguity, I don't think it has to be just one thing, anarchist critique or more liberal anticommunism. in a story that's nodding to Orwell especially (not sure what else to make of "George Orr")

      It might be, or she might have really liked the sound. Keep repeating it it really rings into a "jorjorjor" sound

      I'm not kidding! She might have found herself muttering "george george george" at some point and gone "I'm gonna name somebody jorjorjor"

      There was a Star Wars comic about how Jar-Jar Binks' real name is "George R. Binks"
