Harry Potter
There’s this series of books with a lot of political allegories that help us make sense of our current time of incivility politics. They were written by a female English socialist. It’s called “Harry Potter”, I think you lefties are going to like it.
Ya’ll should really use the dedicated communities for stuff like this…
If we get bigger main will just drown out book content and !books@hexbear.net wil be dead and book content won’t or will barely exist on this website. I think it’s more complicated than just getting more users. People won’t start using !books@hexbear.net if it isn’t active so it needs some kind of spark to get the ball rolling.
Yeah if a community exists for a certain type of content, it should be banned from main. I’m sure devs are working on some features (like default subscriptions) to support that policy
The State and Revolution by Lenin
Said this somewhere else, but gonna always recommend Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed to any leftist looking to read probably the best anarchist sci-fi out there
Also Takiji Kobayashi’s The Crab Cannery Ship if you want some good intense proletarian stories
And the rest of the Hainish Cycle is damn good too! It’s not as in-your-face leftist, but still really good. There’s a very anti-colonial book, there’s a book set on a world where everyone is nonbinary, there’s a book about how slavery is bad (that’s also blatantly feminist, because even once the slaves get their freedom, the female ex-slaves are still very oppressed, and that’s bad), there’s a book about a guy with such advanced science compared to the world he’s dropped into that he’s basically a demigod/epic hero of a fantasy story, and a couple more which defy easy explanation. Basically, Ursula K LeGuin is awesome!
I would say that The Word for World is Forest is pretty leftist, in an environmentalist and anti-war sort of way
