Excellent post, good thread etc.

All of the points made about what burgerpunk should be, including 6, are correct.
My understanding of theory fiction comes more from Land than Reza, so forgive me if I make a point that would contradict his ideas. Basically, if burgerpunk is meant to be a reflection and a critique of modernity, the best way of going about it is theorizing. Theory is critique, as Land says, and as such, Theory fiction, then, is an ideal genre for boundary-pushing literary genres like Burgerpunk (all good modern sci-fi approaches or at least acknowledges theory fiction, at least inadvertently).

This is exactly what I mean. Being slandered as conservative or class reductionist doesn't make you conservative at all; "brocialist" types consider themselves (and are often considered by milquetoast liberals) as "too far left" rather than conservative.

Additionally, actual economic leftism, however ineffective antiquated, actually is counter to globohomo/neoliberalism. Corporations, whose powers are on the rise, love to talk about social justice since it buries discussion of class under the "class reductionist" label. The way I see it, opposition to global corporate power and resistance to totalizing, authoritative, social "progress" (regardless if you support those movements in a limiting capacity) is about as counter culture as it gets nowadays.
