Is it possible to have right-wing science fiction?
to have left-wing fantasy fiction?
If so, please recommend!

Apolitical is possible. What a dumb thread this is. You could try Google it.

Is there really no sci-fi with a Carlylean bent?

>> No.14834365

When I read throught the first thrilogy of the Mistborn saga I had a pretty leftist picture in mind. Not just as the simple "muh proles uprising" but I saw a clear reminiscence of Lenin's theory of Vanguard-Masses relationship. I dont know if Sanderson would agree with this interpretation but it was clear to me and a few colleagues.

Just say you don't have an answer.

If I wanted reddit answers, sure, but I want REAL /lit/erature.

You mean all of it? There's literally no left wing sci fi. Even Heinlen ultimately argues for conservatism and tradition

Yes OP. Have you not heard the saga of the rabid puppies? If so, lucky you.
But, to name a few SF writers who wear their politics on their sleeve:
John Ringo- Paleo conservative
Larry Correria- Boomer conservative
John Scalzi- left liberal
Iain Banks- left utopian

You fucking retards have never read any sci fi. 98% of all sci fi ever published is about macho space captains sticking to their guns. Sorry you read like the tiny tiny minuscule exception of "hard sci fi (read hard for micropenises)" and think sci fi is for soft libtards. Sci Fi is about men dominating space and robots and whoores

That's lowbrow pulp garbage meant for autistic children, not science fiction.

Sorry that what you read is just your precious little meaningless philosophy with a space veneer. Most sci fi is about hardboiled captains bedding alien beauties and putting down colomial rebellions. The rest is just sad libtard wish fulfillment instead of stories of real guts and wits in the cold of space

Quantum Vibe is a webcomic (plz no ban) that frequently makes it very clear the author's views on weapons, welfare, communism, islam, radicalism, and a slew of other things. It would more accurately be described as "libertarian", but in the modern political climate it would definitely be considered "conservative".

Most scifi is unintentionally libertarian.

2. People make business deals with literally no oversight, they're in space
3. Body mods
4. Space Money AKA "credits"
