The Dispossessed
Ursula K. Le GuinEl Norte RecuerdaWhy don’t people know what Marxism is. Sauron represents the stripping of nature for the sake of war and technological progress, and the use of socially dead fungible labor to do it. If you want Marxist fiction, read the Hainish novels, esp. The Dispossessed, by Ursula K LeGuin https://t.co/D7sUbg9tB6
