[–] muddi@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) What "book" are they talking about lol, what modern communist writes utopian apologia or fantasy? (not the genre of fantasy, I meant like, fantasizing about communism as a dream rather than a real historical struggle) Autobiographies like Guevara's are based on actual historical realities The Dispossessed comes to mind, and the subtitle is An Ambiguous Utopia They're definitely not talking about the magic system in Das Kapital right?? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago (2 children) I'm a communist who's writing fantasy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] muddi@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago lol sorry by fantasy I didn't mean the genre or setting, but like Mary Sue type writing where communism wins just because the writer wants it to, bad choice of words there. I'm trying to write some communist fantasy myself! I think leftist writers put in a lot of effort to understand the history and be realistic about it. I've never seen anyone just champion communism because it sounds nifty permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago Orwell's Homage to Catalonia (I am 80% joking Anarchist comrades the CNT/FAI were pretty cool and Stalin fucked up) permalink fedilink source parent
