How do you guys keep your political views out of your writing?
Been working on some genre fiction because it's my jam and It keeps turning into a battle against socialism.
>>7389531
Americans really like shit
Just have interesting political views and don't strawman, don't appear overly bias or at least do it well.
>>7389531
>and It keeps turning into a battle against socialism.
I would advise reading books about Socialism so you realise it isn't a childish battle between good and evil.
>>7389541
I'm familiar with it, socialism and ultimately communism are great in theory but terrible in practice.
>>7389548
The only conclusion you should draw from that is that we should get better at implementing its great theory.
>>7389558
>mfw /lit/ is red on the inside

That's tough, i'm heavy handed as fuck.
Pic related.

>I'm familiar with it, socialism and ultimately communism are great in theory but terrible in practice.
Meme opinion.
>>7389567
Nothing red here. Lets replace a few words.
>If X is good in theory, but bad in practice, then we should get better at implementing it.
This holds true regardless of X, as long as X is indeed good in theory.
>>7389574
Comrade, do not argue with Capitalist scum. They are snakes sent to undermine us.
>>7389579
Of course, commissar, I didnt mean to... wait, where are you taking me? He spoke to me first, I swear, I was only defending our glorious ideology. Please, no, please not the children! Marry, be strong. Dont cry and be strong.
>>7389570
Observed opinion actually, a person with one hundred percent of the resources will always achieve more than 10 people with ten percent each.
>>7389574
This doesn't hold true at all, infecting the entire planets population with aids so that human beings can evolve an immunity to it like the women in deep africa as soon as possible is a good idea.
Yet fucking terrible in practice.
>>7389585
Its a terrible idea, actually. Bad in theory and in practice. If anything, its better in practice, since you will fail to implement it properly, and the results wont be as bad.
You have brain deficiency, lad.
>>7389584
Shhh, we are taking you to a happy place. We will give you lessons on how to talk with Capitalist scum. Have you heard of Lapland which the Capitalist go to? It is like that, do not worry. *smiles underneath moustache*
>>7389588
Amazing in theory, it's literally a species wide immunization plan.
>>7389598
Its a species wide death sentence. Your theory crafting skills are lacking.
>>7389599
I don't think you understand how aids works anon, it's rare that children born to aids patients get infected.
Even rarer if they're on meds.
Goddamn homie tonz of authors ain't wrote nuttin but political propaganda and they still dope.
Just do it fine.
>>7389609
Just because you become immune to the thing, doesnt mean you arent still spreading it.
And in order to get to immunity by giving everyone AIDS, we would be killing off over 99% of the human population AT RANDOM.
Its stupid in theory, as it will kill off the most valuable people and leave us with a bunch of imbeciles spread around the globe.
>>7389618
>just because you become immune to the thing
That's exactly what it means when it comes to aids, you have a 1 in ten thousand chance of catching hiv from vaginal sex, even less if you're on meds.
It's iron clad, in theory.
>>7389531
you can't
>>7389625
How is killing the overwhelming majority of humans at random ironclad in theory, you fucking imbecile?
Give up already, your wit failed you and you have no argument. Stop wasting both of ours time.
>>7389631
>killing the majority
Nope, on meds you can live 10-20 years with ease. More than enough time to reproduce.
>wit failed
This isn't wit dingus, it's a thought experiment which happens to be ironclad.
if you write well and can present it clearly it works
Like LeGuin and Robinson
>>7389636
Under 1% of the people that contact HIV actually develop an immunity to it.
You are killing the majority of humans.
You are retarded.
>>7389531
Don't have political views in the first place.
>>7389669
>some people will die
Over 99% of people will die at random. AT RANDOM.
This is a disaster and you are an idiot for not seeing it.
haha, he's got Ayn Rand disease
>>7389677
pure ideology
>>7389679
>99% at random
It's not random if they know it's aids and how long they have, you fuck.
Communism is a disaster and you're an idiot for not seeing it.
>>7389680
The author is literally a libertarian though, manages to justify cleaving a young girls lower jaw off with his boot at some point also.
>>7389730
The chance of a person developing immunity rather than dying isnt related to that person's worth to society.
A scientist or a doctor is as likely to die as a supermarket clerk or a life long prisoner.
Thats the random part. And since you are killing off the vast majority of people, combine with the fact that most people are worthless, you will end up with all quality people dead, and a few worthless people alive separated from each other and spread around the globe, being worthless and lost.
If you lack the intellect to see how this isnt "great in theory" you might want to avoid book writing as a career choice and go pick up a shovel or something.
>>7389739
>you will end up with all quality people dead,
That's an entirely baseless assumption to make.
This is the same sort of flawed thinking that makes you invest so heavily in communism.
>>7389742
I am not a communist, I am just allergic to thick people not knowing they are thick.
If you have a group of 100 people, 2 of which are worthwhile, and the rest are garbage, and you kill 99 out of those people, chances are you will end up with some retard left.
>>7389745
>I am just allergic to thick people not knowing they are thick
>completely missed the premise of a thought experiment
Oh christ.
>>7389531
>Go on Bill O´Reily
>tell christian America that your books have capitalist American values
>blame Harry Potter for gay marriage and general degeneracy
>conservative parents buy the first book to their kids
>get rich
No seriously. Your political views are a part of your writing self. You should embrace it rather than hide it. Because whatever you do it's still there. I'm reading Grapes of Wrath which has some socialist and anarchistic elements as a core part of the book.
Unfortunately for you, your ideology seems like it's pretty shit
Shit thread. OP is an idiot.
>>7389669
>I might look into that.
Look at LeGuins The Dispossessed or Kim Stanley Robinsons Mars Trilogy
>>7389754
Your thought experiment is only "great in theory" inside your empty head.
You mentioned a terrible, horrible and nonsensical thing as an example of how things great in theory can be bad in practice.
Its not great in theory. Its stupid. You are stupid. Dont be stupid.
>>7389574
Marxism probably has some flaws.I always thought that the whole, inevitability of history thing felt a little contrived. Of course viewing history through Marxist lenses is nice but it seems like a gross simplification. No?
>>7389774
I suggest you shoot yourself in the head with small caliber bullets to develop an immunity to big caliber bullets.
You're literally dumb as shit here.
>>7389782
I suggest you just slit your wrists and leave those small caliber bullets for the masses so they can execute any siblings or off spring you may have.
Lest we get stuck with more dip shits of your level.
>>7389774
Your analogy is dumb as fuck.
Some /pol/ level discourse in this thread.
>>7389820
Relax ivan, you'll spoil your turnip rations.
>>7389825
>dumbass
>cant stop hating le commies long enough to write some genre fiction
>also hates russians
Dog bless the United States of the USA of North America.
>>7389548
Nah, it's evil in theory and just plain destructive in practice.
Put the political into the prose since it's just a reflection of the personal.
>>7389548
Nah communism is terrible in theory as well. If more people would bother to read Marx this would be common knowledge.
