Fantasy is incompatible with dialectical materialism (swt).

News from nowhere; Master and Margarita; Green child

that racebaiting book where a bunch of niggers go searching for white women to rape, forgot its name
but that's the quintessential leftist fantasy

The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey

Black Future

Literally anything heroic is heretical to extreme varieties of leftism.

i once had a leftist friend tell me that any masculinity or competition whatsoever is "evil" and we should all become like women, which he identified with pure passivity and "enjoyment of life"

he wasn't even some tranny loving effeminate radical, he was pretty tame by recent standards. also fun fact, i have frequently heard that leftist men, the kinds of men who call themselves "allies" to minority groups, are among the creepiest and most likely to commit rape within their social groups

>Literally anything heroic is heretical to extreme varieties of leftism.

“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.”

"A revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredón [execution wall]."

both by che guevara. these are the sublime words of a warrior and hero, the left you are accustomed to is not the only left there is, and it is far from the best version, in fact, it is probably the worst

Handmaid's Tale
Game of Thrones
50 Shades of Gray

Basically all the remotely edgy shit that normies love. Socialists/Communists/Anarchists are just discouraged libs, so they have an even more deficient moral imagination. They congregate at the functional margins of bourgeois taste.

>>15997292
> Master and Margarita
> Communists love anti communist satire

>>15997814
>Handmaid's Tale
Refuted by Marx and it denies class phenomena and haphazardly assembles events in a schizophrenic mess of a way that would only be appreciated by a brainlet or insane person.
>Game of Thrones
Too idealistic.
>50 Shades of Gray
Pic related.

>>15997246
>What fantasy literature do Socialists, Communists and Anarchists love?
The Communist Manifesto

>>15997246

Not necessarily literature, but I've always considered Star Trek to be the preferred fictional universe of the left.

>>15997715
Cool story. An actual leftist would gulag both you and your degenerate liberal friend. Pathetic.

>>15997834

>Handmaid's Tale was refuted by Marx

You take at least one of these authors too seriously

>Lenin hated sex workers

As if contemporary Communists/Socialists/Anarchists would have the conviction to give sex workers the rope. Look around, these aren't your granddaddy's commies

>Game of Thrones is too idealistic

Only the most masochistic radicals subject themselves to literature that actually corresponds to their ideals. The rest just LARP as libs

>>15997863
>no true scotsman

sorry your movement is overrun with fakes but when you let it go on this long, it's only natural outsiders will assume the term applies to the faggotry they are witnessing

everybody knows what you mean when you call feather indians indians, and everybody knows what you mean when you call faggots leftists. especially when those faggots are calling themselves leftists every single day.

You literally don't know what "No True Scotsman" fallacy is. That's your problem. You go through life with these vague, ill-defined categories and sloppily misapply them to the passing phenomena. Up your game. Learn to be rigorous in your understanding and in your use of language. Otherwise you'll keep failing miserably at life as you stumble around in a daze of confusion.

That's social liberalism, dumbass. OP already mentioned it.

>What fantasy literature do Socialists, Communists and Anarchists love?

Cuckold porn, except for them it's not a fantasy

>>15998370
Ted was only talking about himself, of course. He couldn't compete in modern industrial society, so he just wanted to tear it all down. Sad.

>>15998395
No, that's the alt-right.

Inspiring transition stories

>>15997246
Leftists typically write sci-fi rather than fantasy because fantasy oftentimes idealizes the past, but here you go.

Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials)
Ursula K. LeGuin (The Earthsea Series, The Dispossessed).
China Mieville (King Rat, Perdido Street Station)
Brian Jacques (Redwall series)
Michael Moorcock (Elric of Melnibone series)
CJ Cherryh (The Morgaine stories)
Mervyn Peake (Titus Groan trilogy)

>Hello, Based Department?

>>15998464
I've never heard anyone other than alt-right zoomers talk about "cucks", "trannies", "big black cock", etc. Boutique sexual degeneracy has completely colonized their weak minds. Appalling to see.

>>15998396
Anyone willing to live out their philosophy gets bonus points in my book. Especially if it involves blowing shit up.

>>15998490
>Shitty memes and overused phrases used by retards are the same thing as actual communities of communists that share their cuckold/tranny/polyamorous sex stories

You are a special type of retarded

>>15997770
Heroic as in someone who rises above the rest.

>>15998168
Yes but Bulgacov is still one of the biggest anti comies. Just read heart of a dog.

I just finished the Communist Manifesto and Marx makes it very clear that there should be no secratarian causes outside of the plight of the worker. Wouldnt LGBT issues be considered secratarian? How do people like the one in your pic rectify that?

>>15998717
Nice self-description of what you are doing. Keen introspection.

>>15998725
>Y-you are the one projecting, not me
This is the most pathetic attempt at saving face I've ever seen.

>>15998722
The guy is probably a glowie tasked with making the concept of proletarian empowerment as culturally alien as possible to the actual proles. Same old same old.

>>15998734
Who is the one who keeps bringing up various niche sexually degenerate behaviors? Me or you?

>>15998738
Anon there seems to be a lot of trans glowniggers under a Marxist banner. I'm not a commie, but I honestly sympathize with the ones that are only in it for the liberation of the proletariat

Socialist and I love The Hobbit (actually the only Tolkien I've read, so weirdly specific) and Harry Potter.
The Time Traveler's Wife is the most out of place among my favorite books, so you can use that.

>>15998748
You. I just called you a retard and used a stupid fucking meme of a non-sexual nature to describe your behavior. Plus, I called all of those dumb memes like "cuck", "tranny", etc. stupid fucking memes, so they're clearly less than nothing in my mind. You however, out of the blue brought up tranny porn and think that every zoomer that uses one of the above dumb memes is secretly a degenerate that watches BBC, cuckold or tranny porn. It says a lot more about you than it does me really.

>>15997275
kek The Smurfs

>>15998773
They've been doing this for a long time. Why do you think Americans in the 50s hated communists so much? It had nothing to do with transgenderism or the like. At that time it was because they were convinced via ruling class propaganda that socialism was somehow vaguely "foreign" and "unchristian" and "disloyal" to America. Those don't work as well nowadays, so they've moved on to painting socialists as sexual degenerates, deliberately conflating them with rad-libs in the public imagination. It's much easier to do in the digital age, too. Ten full-time employees with a bunch of sockpuppet social media accounts can create a milieu that then inspires misfits and deranged lunatics to feel like they belong to a larger cause. It's amazing how easy it is to manufacture public opinion -- the process can even take on a life of its own after a certain point, no longer requiring active management.

Brecht is essentially commie genre fiction.
