      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.

      it wasn't exactly wrong! but the argument also occupied an ideological space that was not always right or good.

      This is actually what fascinates me. How critical perspectives all have a unique scotoma. To many Marxist readers, liberalism & anarchism are indistinguishable since their differences are invisible, & reactions to Le Guin fascinate me in particular for this reason.

      I feel like her positioning in the Dispossessed is somewhat different than in LOH...like I said, it doesn't have to be just one thing.

      I mean, George isn't an anarchist, right? He's not Shevek, with a principled opposition to authority and a call for constant revolution.

      He's about mystical balance vs. Haber's narcissistic destruction of all connections in the name of do-gooding.

      Maybe this is why I don’t see him as heroic. I genuinely see him as a bit of a putz who could easily fall into guru-ism. I’ve never felt the text compelled me to admire him. Shevek is deeply flawed yet clearly the reader’s vision into the book in a way I can’t see Orr.

      Then again, I’ve never liked Orwell’s protagonists, even when they’re Eric Blair!

      One of Orwell's friends once roasted him with one quote, "He chastises others for 'lapsing into self-pity', which was, of course, his own dominant emotion"

          I just look at how he interacted with George Woodcock & Alex Comfort. Wish we still read Comfort’s novels (rather than his illustrated books…).
