Re: Wish fulfillment
It'd be too easy to make the mirror-image response, about the similar wishes and faith of the Right. Let's just stipulate that I did.
What I was actually wondering about is whether there's a a work of fiction or an author which/who embodies Leftist philosophy and aspirations the way Tom Clancy does for the Right, and Ayn Rand does for the Libertarians. I'm drawing a blank. Oh, weak examples of utopian fiction, such as "Ecotopia", come to mind. But nothing that's grabbed people the way Clancy and Rand have. One way to rephrase the question: Any piece of Leftist fiction you particularly despise?
