You read this book for the objectively better political system, not for anything else. Franchise citizenship would make the world a better place if implemented.

>not for anything else.
Honestly the instructors monologue about the degradation of the family unit and how children ran rape/murder gangs in public parks until the point that even in broad daylight you could not walk about town was startling accurate. Horrifyingly so, considering it was published in 1959 and less 20 years later New York City became such a shit hole that cops were being killed in broad daylight. Women were raped daily. You had to walk in very specific areas of the town to just not be attacked, and finally literal child/teen gangs ruled the parks.
According to all statistics there were over 1 million violent crimes a year in NYC in each year of the 80s.
In comparison there are still 300k+ crimes a year for the last ten years.
Most of those people are never rehabilitated and only continue their destructive patterns year after year.
God damn it was painfully accurate.

for more scarily accurate predictions, read ayn rand

>ayn rand
Rand has a few, but I find them a bit more subjective honestly. I do understand what you mean.

Heinlein despite writing mostly scifi always had a very blunt way about pushing his ideals in a book that made it more effective for me.
The moon is a cruel mistress is probably my favorite. Even as the men admit they are all cuckolds effectively the MC secretly glees that one of their sister colonies has a boy in it that looks very much like him. Hinting that he sexually reproduced.
Funny as hell to me, but also terrifying to think of a world where men outnumber women that much that men are just okay with sharing women.
