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?

“Kumbaya”

“Kill cops”

“The only thing Stalin did wrong was not killing enough kulaks”

“Morality is entirely subordinate to the interests of class war, and everything is moral that is necessary for the annihilation of the old exploiting social order, and the uniting of the proletariat.”

I don’t know what you mean by “subtlety” or w/e (I’m ESL) but I hope this is what you’re looking for

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
