If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

    Heinlein was a huge friend to Philip K. Dick, and any number of Jewish science fiction writers. He was one of the first writers to have an African woman as a hero, one of the first to have a transman character. Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      and any number of Jewish science fiction writers.

      And?

      He was one of the first writers to have an African woman

      And?

      one of the first to have a transman character.

      Again… and?

      Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      All right-wingers walk the same path. If you write fascist drivel, you are a fascist. Heinlein was a fascist. Stop making excuses for him.

        And then you wonder why the Left loses pretty much every election.

            Exactly my point.

            Call me when you actually win an election.

                If you can’t win an argument without using foul language, you probably don’t have many good ideas.

                Bye bye.

                Would you deny that Canada’s NDP, the CPUSA, or US Greens are leftist?

                    You’re saying that the wp:Communist Party USA is not leftist?

                    What are you?

                    a Maoist?

                    a Hoxhaist?

                    a Gonzaloist?

        How many socialistic writers wrote sci-fi that included Africans and the TG?

        Was it back when Stalin outlawed homosexuality and allying with Hitler?

                    Sorry about that: I didn’t realize there was a link; and thanks for making it.

                    Neither the words “socialist” nor “leftist” appears in that article.
