What do my /lit/bros think of this? I view it as a racially conscious 1984, and more prophetic than it.

As a novel its not particularly good.

I'm interested in utopian novels and have read a fair number of them, this one is interesting. The actual utopian vision is so scanty, it seems to amount to some kind of collectivized agriculture. The assumption that simply wiping out everyone on the planet that doesn't closely resemble themselves will lead to a paradise is so incredibly primitive.

The Marxist believes that one can achieve paradise by transcending human nature. The fascist believes that one can achieve paradise by embracing human nature's most barbaric aspects.

Where does this meme come from? Marxism is explicitly anti-utopian. It was a reaction to earlier communists, who were utopian.

I wouldn't call to anti-utopian, but I agree that it was a poor choice of words. It chould have said communist or Butlerian or something.

This is a dystopian novel. Tf are you on about?

Incorrect, it is a utopian novel. It just spends all of its time on the struggle for utopia and spends very little time detailing exactly what the utopia will consist of other than white people.

Shit tier analysis, it's clear you don't know what you're talking about.
