I’m writing a currently genre ambiguous Sci-Fi/lovecraft/spaceopera/superhero novel that doesn’t outright declare everyone is openly is Maoist/Anarchist/Stalinist/Etc., (the alien characters won’t have human etymology for their ideologies) and maybe it’s not actually all that political on the surface anyways, but any tips for slipping in vegan and leftist dog-whistles?
Throw you car batteries in the ocean to charge the eels
This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I met someone at a party (friend of a friend) and my dude immediately started talking about Brace Belden and then the GDR. so sometimes you just gotta go for it I guess.
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”
“There are decades where nothing happens and weeks where decades happen”
At an old apartment I used to live at I saw a wifi network named, “let a hundred flowers bloom”
And after you let the flowers bloom you arrest the right-wingers who foolishly revealed themselves and sentence them to hard labor for 20 years
Oh Mao, you were such a clever bastard when you wanted to be
It was, 100%. He knew there were right-wingers hiding in the Party and elsewhere. Finding them was the problem, they were deeply closeted. But allowing them to criticize the Party “to help improve it” would certainly get them to out themselves. They couldn’t resist. They identified themselves, Mao didn’t have to do anything but note names. Then after a few months, he brought the hammer down. BAM, off to the labor camps. None of them were released until after Mao died.
Slipping in famous leftist quotes or paraphrases of those quotes. :biden-leftist:
